[Ham-Linux] Linux equivilant to GeoClock

[Harv Nelson]

there is KDE Worldclock which makes a nice sort of wallpaper display
thats hows areas of light and darkness and may be helpful to you in
determining things like gray line skeds, etc.  the program allows you
to set several colored "map pins" with editable info available with a
right clik. you'll also have a choice of several geographical or
political maps. an additional KDE artwork lib is probably required.
while not a partof  the amateur Radio section of the archive, I've had
fun with it.  the KDE desktop clock applet allows you to set up for
tim in several different time zones ... so you can have clocks going
for local and UTC tim at a click of the mouse.

hereis the packager's description
=====
earth watcher for KDE
Displays where in the world it is light and dark depending on time, as
well as offering the time in all of the major cities of the world.
This can be run standalone, as an applet in the KDE panel or as a
desktop background.
==============

Additional kworldclock themes are available in the kdeartwork-misc package.

This package is part of KDE, and a component of the KDE toys module.
See the 'kde' and 'kdetoys' packages for more information.
try  "Apt-getinstall worldclock" on debian based systems.  that will
unstall any needed dependancies as well. i don't know the equivalent
command for rpm based systems like red hat or mandriva.
