Though from many years I have restrained myself from installing Linux but one day me & Nilesh had a debate on advantages of linux. Finally, at the end of debate Nilesh won and I was convinced. So, next day I decided to install Fedora Linux and finally I got success in installing it.

In the Ubuntu 10.04 release a.k.a Lucid Lynx, the minimize, maximize and close buttons are moved to the left of the titlebar. This feature was not welcomed by many, as it was difficult to get used to the new layout. This post will help you to reposition those buttons back to the right side of the title bar.

This is a small guide on how to optimizing a linux server for performance, so that you can extract the full juice of your server. A lot of times, the default configurations are bad, and work slow- especially they matter a lot when you have low ram.

Twitter has become a part of daily life. Since twitter allows only 140 characters of a status update, its like an SMS being sent to all of your friends to tell them what you're doing now. This can be done using many ways on your cell phone, laptop and desktop. Tweeting is fun and you can find new stuff easily just by following people and lists. So here, I'm listing some twitter clients for Linux users who often give up after not being able to find a good twitter client and revert to using some browser addon like Echofon which sucks.

Content on your server may not be of interest to people of all countries. So in order to block IPs from those countries so that you don't shell out extra money for the bandwidth wasted by them you have to filter the packets using iptables

Hi,

This is little tutorial on backing up your firefox profiles. Many times it happens that we install some addon, and firefox won't start again after that. Then we'll have to tweak extensions.ini, ....blahblah or delete and recreate the whole profile at the cost of your settings, cache, and previous addons, themes. So to prevent this, I've devised two methods for backup, the first one being applicable to firefox users on all operating systems which involves installing an addon and configuring it. The second method is applicable to Linux users (and probably mac, bsd) which is a little advanced, but works good.

Suppose you're browsing some nice tutorial on the web and you would like to get the PDF of the same.
