Useful Downloads for Linux
For Nautilus
1. PyExtensions for Nautilus- These extensions make Nautilus even more useful. If you have a hard time using Nautilus Actions Configurations like I do, this .deb package is just what you need. With this package, you will be able to right-click on a file and copy or move a file (or many) to another directory, as well as open as administrator which is sometimes needful if you don't have the necessary permissions on a file. This package was developed by Giuseppe Penone and is provided for download by Softpedia and licensed under the GNU General Public License (GPL)
Note: These download are an update; the original file I uploaded didn't work for some reason.
The first download is for anyone using a Debian based distro, such as Debian, Ubuntu, Dreamlinux, Linux Mint or MEPIS (for examples). The second download is the source package, for use in Slackware Linux or .rpm based distros, such as Fedora, Mandriva, or PCLinuxOS to name a few.

This second download is for a more advanced package that is intended to address the 'whole shebang' that my first GDM tutorial explains. This comes from the GDM2 setup team at Launchpad.net (thank you!) There are a few bugs to still be worked out but these are already being addressed and will be updated from the repository. If you have not already done so, take the time to visit the tutorial on how to add this package to the repository. This is important because then you will get updates via your update manager application and there will be some as the bugs get worked out of this new application. The first option is for Debian based distros; the second download is the source code option for all other distros.
