howtoubuntu.com — Hotwire is a modern hybrid text/graphical shell for developers and system administrators. It includes much of the functionality found in the combination of a terminal emulator, a shell, and core utilities like ls and grep and it looks awesome!

This looks like a fantastic tool. Is there a full size/+quality video somewhere (to make the text and demos readable)?

The autosuggest looks extremely annoying, but the built in file browser could be extremely awesome.

I'm not sure exactly what this is, but I assume it's basically a front-end to a bunch of command-line tools. Not exactly perfect for you, the "Real admin"(..?), but it might help people learn various commands and how to use them together.That said, it might be useful for "real admins" if it lets them do their job easier/quicker, but I have the feeling it might be too restrictive.

Someone started looking at an OS X port: <a class="user" href="http://groups.google.com/group/hotwire-shell/browse_thread/thread/3ad0f209b6c38715?hl=en">http://groups.google.com/group/hotwire-shell/brows ...</a>As for the web page, see <a class="user" href="http://hotwire-shell.org">http://hotwire-shell.org</a>

The original SSH support used Paramiko ( <a class="user" href="http://www.lag.net/paramiko/">http://www.lag.net/paramiko/</a> ) a pure Python SSH implementation so it could run on Windows. And yes, the idea is you'd have Hotwire installed on your server, and they would speak XML-RPC over a SSH channel.

For a supposedly awesome-looking application, the site is amazingly devoid of screenshots.

Nice little app, I only wish I could use ssh on it. Any plans to bring that up soon?
