Easier dictionary

Posted by: Anonymous Coward on April 21, 2005 08:17 PM
The author points out correctly that adding a little applet on the Gnome or KDE taskbar is more powerful than the OOo's dictionary.

Even better IMHO is a little command-line app called eDictionary. http://edictionary.sourceforge.net/

From the command line, just type 'edict [word]' for definitions or 'ethes [word]' for use of the thesaurus. Great little app, no overhead, quick.

Just my $0.02.
