Introduction

If you are a system administrator, perhaps a command line junkie, and you deal with a large number of servers on a daily basis, you may have already created profiles to define the connection characteristics of each server.

I've also experienced an improvement in usability assigning a different color and icon to a server or group of servers. After a while, you can quicly identify which server are you connected to with just a glimpse of the screen.

But this has a drawback, the only way to open a terminal is from another terminal unless you've already created launchers for the specific profiles.

To provide a cleaner solution. I've create the gnome-terminal-launcher applet that reads the profiles from GConf and creates the corresponding menu entry to invoke the gnome-terminal command and its arguments.

There's also a post in my blog describing this applet.

For a detailed description of the installation and configuration process see Gnome-terminal-launcher installation and configuration.

This applet also handles the extra command line options that you can add to gnome-terminal like for example --geometry, storing them in GConf. This is related to, and up to some point solves, gnome-terminal's bug 155147 (http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=155147)

Mediawiki

MediaWiki installation on SourceForge servers presents some challenges. The complete installation process is described in the article Mediawiki installation on SourceForge where I present a tool to automate the process.

Please see documentation on customizing the interface and the User's Guide for usage and configuration help.
