glglobe is available in one of the normal repos.

It is a globe in colour.

d = remove or restore day / night line
f = grid
g = grid intersections
i = date, time and position display
m = world cities
s = infra red ?
t = larger lettering of cities

0 (zero) = restore display to current time
- = zoom out
+ = zoom in

Using the mouse pointer and the 4 cursor keys the globe can be
manipulated, even turned upside down - that must appeal to Australians
:-)

home = move backwards in time
end = move forwards in time
page-up = move globe to right
page-down = move globe to left

It is fascinating to see how, in the northern hemisphere, the sun never
sets on the north pole in summer. Madrid (Spain) begins darkness before London yet
London has daylight before Spain.

Any more thought provoking goodies in Centos ???

Centos mentally stimulates the brain, something M$ could never achieve !
