What is next best thing to FARR for Linux?

[dantheman]

I know it's not possible but there must be something close to FARR for Linux.

Christmas wishes to all!
Happy Holidays to those who don't.

Depends on what window environment you're using, most all of which are part of the distribution. KDE has a nice fast app built-in:

Probably Launchy.

Thanks Mouser, will look into it.

Newbie with WUBI.

@dantheman - Welcome to the Realm of the Penguin!

Hope you enjoy working & playing with Linux.

Probably Launchy.

Ah, Ubuntu only.

Gnome Do is a Quicksilver like keyboard launcher, it was originally mixed with with a dock ... It seems great, but I read rumors of bugs. I've never tried it though, so this is just rumors

@40hz, i'm still very much a newbiewubi and from what i've been seeing over the past few days, there are many good points in WUBI but also plenty of shortcomings that make it difficult to fully accept (yet!).

FARR is a hard app to replace.

Anything with the word "Terminal" in it...


(once you learn how Linux works, you'll get it...)

Probably Launchy.

Ah, Ubuntu only.

Huh? You mean there's something else?   Kidding...just kidding.

gmrun. Very simple little thing (far from FARR ). But for the times when I'm on my linux driven netbook it gets the job done.
