a linux terminal online dictionary based on Cambridge web version

I used to look up some words on Cambridge webpage, and I really love this dictionary. But it dose not provide a linux terminal online/offline version. At the first, I decided to make it by calling the API. Then I email the Cambridge and found it is too expensive almost 5000 pound per year.

Finally, I implemented it by sending request to web, and parse the html and print it to the terminal. Now it meet my basic need at least.

And it's my pleasure to share my project with you guys, and hope I can get some advice or PR. :)

Software suggestion lists

Do you think it would be a good idea to have suggestion topics for certain categories of software? I don't mean like "I'm looking for ..." kind of topics but of the type "I like using ... for that, and you?", or more generally, say for example the category is IDE and then people post their most preferred IDE application.

I personally would find that very interesting and keep a personal list of useful software myself. There are so many good pieces of software for Linux and some even better than the tools we're used to.

​

What do you think?

Number Of Users Per Linux Distro

I am searching, but can't find any information about the number of users in each distro.

Does anyone knows where to find this? (at least the most popular ones like Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, etc ...).

It's just something I'm wondering.

Help with geny motion

I installed virtual box through the software manager of Linux Mint. I installed geny motion following these directions: [http://techapple.net/2014/07/tutorial-installsetup-genymotion-android-emulator-linux-ubuntulinuxmintfedoraarchlinux/](http://techapple.net/2014/07/tutorial-installsetup-genymotion-android-emulator-linux-ubuntulinuxmintfedoraarchlinux/)

​

making sure to change the name of the file to meet the download. Geny motion attempts to launch but says it needs virtual box; which is installed. I assume Geny isn't launching through virtual box like it should be I am a total noob at Linux. What can I do to fix this?
