Linux Visual diff tool.
I finally installed the latest Ubuntu 6.06 on my work laptop.
I spent 20 minutes putting WPA to work, I did spent something like 4 hours with no success with the previous Ubuntu release.
So everything is working fine, and the swith between WEP access points and WPA one is as intuitive as with windows.
Anyway I was seeking an alternative on the linux platform for the excellent Araxis Merge visual diff tools which performs diff nicely and in a visually attractive manner on files and directories, as filters to remove folder name from the comparison (.svn/target/bin directories for instance).
I stumble upon Meld… and it works very very well.
I’m even thinking that I should use it on Windows too…
It supports every options I was using in Araxis Merge, the only thing I didn’t found is a refresh button, but I’m sure it is somewhere…

thanks for the tip – I was getting tired of ediff.
regarding refresh, try ctrl+shift+r (reload files), or ctrl+r (refresh display)
