Finally settled for a GTD system that seems to work

In Life Management GTD Sync all PIM on June 2, 2009 at 6:38 am

I’m using linux (kubuntu hardy haron 8.04 ) since around a year now. Was looking for a GTD system taht really works & passes the following testts:

(1) Has to be easy to install config & use

(2) Need to be rock solid stable ( i don;t want a great app to throw me out of gear one day suddenly !)

(3) Has to be free as in beer & speech both

After all the googling & posts & testing etc.. found 3 systems that come closer to this criteria

NO.1 is EMACS ORG MODE !!!… I’m not good at emacs but this thing is rock solid…stable, easy, & really works……

NO.2. is gtd-free (Java based  JAR). This is light, platform independent & intutive interface.

NO.3. is lazy worm’s workdesk which is  a LAMP (Linux Apache Mysql PHP) app, but too heavy to use as GTD   & not everybody is so clear about lamp installation & config.

VERDICT

I will suggest GTD free. You can use it on any platform with Java Runtime Environment (JRE) installed

Installation Steps:

(1) Get Java JRE if you don;t have yet installed

(2) Download from http://gtd-free.sourceforge.net/

(3) You can have jar or exe file basing on your preference

(4) Run the jar file from the download directory…. you are up & running

Hope this helps
