These tweaks should work with all flavours of Linux. I have only tried them on Ubuntu so if you port them to other flavours, do so with CAUTION! These have been compiled from a million different sources so I don’t know who to credit with them, if you do, pat them on the back […]

Recently they merged together to become Compiz Fusion which will be released in the upcoming Ubuntu 7.10 ‘Gutsy Gibbon’.

This post courtesy of http://www.thelazyadmin.com helped me no end when I encountered a slight problem with differences between XP Home and XP Pro. I was running XP Pro on my home machine but had to downgrade to XP Home as I ran out of licences. This meant that home could not read my dynamic drives, […]

I was surprised to find Mozilla Thunderbird 2 was not in the standard Ubuntu 7.04 repository, so I found this little snippet to solve the problem. It may be a good idea to back up your emails if you use an earlier version of Thunderbird as your email client.
