Hey, you! Yes, you, the Linux user who says the thing about Mac OS X you hate the most is the fact that you only get one desktop. You, the one who says you must have KDE or Gnome, because only they will provide you with multiple desktops.

Well, you nay sayer, meet Desktop Manager. Desktop Manager, found on version tracker here, is a fantastic little application designed to do one thing: give you multiple desktops. It is released under the GNU General Public License, and has a source forge page here.

I swear by this little piece of software, using hot keys to switch through four desktops. My first desktop is dedicated to web browsing, stickies, and random other tasks. Instant messages usually live there, but I frequently minimize them between messages to keep things from being cluttered. My second desktop has a terminal open at all times. I can switch to it if I need to do anything UNIX quickly and easily. That's where my SSH windows live, and all that stuff. My third desktop has Mail.app open on it. That's where I also usually work with my address book and calendar. The fourth desktop deals with my random tasks. I could have as many more of them as I wanted or needed, as far as I can tell. Four satisfies me just fine.

So to any of you Mac users out there, I say try this application. It will change the way you work.
