Forced breaks - a good thing

All of us that work with computers are guilty of one thing: we don't take enough breaks to give our eyes a break, leading to fatigue at the end of the day. Ubuntu 10.04 has functionality built-in to help you manage not working for too long at a time. You can set the duration of the work interval as well as of the break, and you can postpone breaks. I'm definitely going to use this, and also look for a similar app for Windows.

You can find the Typing break configuration under System/Preferences/Keyboard on the Typing Break tab

Here is a screenshot of the functionality.
