Sitting In Front of Computer For Long Hours ???? Do u Feel Eyes are Burning ????

Sitting In Front Of Ur PC or Laptop For Long Hours ???? Are Ur Eyes Burning Bcos of this ??? Then Here is a Solution !!!!
Get hold of a Software called " f.lux " . It makes the color of your system's display adapt to the time of the day , warm at night and like sunlight during the day. You could use f.lux because it even makes you sleep better and make your computer look better.
F.lux makes your computer screen look like the room you are in all time. When the sun sets it make your screen look like your indoor lights. In morning it makes things look like sunlight again.
Tell flux about what kind of light you have and where you live in. Then forget about it. F.lux will do the rest automatically.
Download the software from.....
 
 
i hope this may be helpful to you all :) enjoyyy.....:)
 

WHY MR.VIRUS CANNOT CONQUER THE MIGHTY LINUX.

The following are main reasons why virus have failed to invade the Linux operating system
1. Linux does not execute any file automatically, hence virus cannot execute when we start a program.
2. The kernel of Linux is re-bootable, hence each and every time a fresh configuration is loaded.
3. No virus has been programmed for Linux system. All the viruses are majorly coded to target the windows.
4. Linux provides security by halting auto executable files.
5. Linux has an inbuilt firewall.

Installing GNS3 on Ubuntu 10.04+

First, you have to install the dynagen and python-qt4 packages.

 sudo apt-get install dynagen python-qt4
 
After that, you have to download GNS3 source for Linux. You can either
 download it from their website or you can use the terminal to download it for you.
 
cd /opt
sudo wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/gns-3/GNS3-0.7.4-src.tar.bz2?download
sudo tar -xjvf GNS3-0.7.4-src.tar.bz2?download
sudo mv GNS3-0.7.4-src /opt/GNS3

During my installation, the latest version is v0.7.4. Check this website first to see what is the latest version: http://www.gns3.net/download
Create the following directories inside the GNS3 directory: Dynamips, IOS, Project, Cache and tmp.
 
cd /opt/GNS3
sudo mkdir Dynamips
sudo mkdir IOS
sudo mkdir Project
sudo mkdir Cache
sudo mkdir tmp

Add Read and Write permissions for the other users to the following directories: Project, tmp and IOS.
 
sudo chmod o+rw -R ./Project
sudo chmod o+rw -R ./tmp
sudo chmod o+rw -R ./IOS

Download Dynamips and make it executable:
 
cd Dynamips
sudo wget http://www.ipflow.utc.fr/dynamips/dynamips-0.2.8-RC2-x86.bin
sudo chmod +x ./dynamips-0.2.8-RC2-x86.bin

The latest version available is 0.2.8. Check this website first to see what is the latest version: http://www.ipflow.utc.fr/dynamips/
Install the Qemu package.
 
sudo apt-get install qemu

That ends the installation of GNS3. The next steps will tell you how to configure GNS3.
Create a launcher for GNS3
In the Desktop, create a new launcher and use the following command:
 
python "/opt/GNS3/gns3"

Or you can use the Main Menu configuration to add one.
Launch GNS3 and go to Edit > Preferences > Terminal Settings > Preconfigurated Terminal Commands
Select Gnome Terminal (Linux)
You will see that the Terminal Command will be similar to this:
 
gnome-terminal -t %d -e 'telnet %h %p' >/dev/null 2>&1 &

In the General Settings tab, look for Paths:
Configure the Project directory:
 
/opt/GNS3/Project

Image directory:
 
/opt/GNS3/IOS

Go to the Dynamips tab and look for the Executable path:
 
/opt/GNS3/Dynamips/dynamips-0.2.8-RC2-x86.bin

Working Directory:
 
/opt/GNS3/tmp

Go to the Capture tab and look for the working directory for capture files:
 
/opt/GNS3/Project

 Go to the Qemu tab and set the Path to qemu:
 
/usr/bin/qemu

Path to qemu-img
 
/usr/bin/qemu-img

That’s it. You now have installed and configured GNS3 to run on Ubuntu. You just have to own an IOS to start setting up your routers.

BEST MUSIC PLAYERS FOR UBUNTU

1. AMAROK

 Amarok is a powerful music player with an intuitive interface. It makes playing the music you love and discovering new music easier than ever before and it looks good doing it! Amarok is based on the powerful Qt4 / KDE4 Platform and nicely integrates with KDE desktop.

Much work has been invested into integrating Amarok 2 with various Web services:

Ampache

Jamendo Service

Last.fm

Librivox

MP3tunes

Magnatune

OPML Podcast Directory

Amarok comes with a lot of features including but not limited to:

Scripts - enhance your Amarok experience with community developed scripts.

Dynamic Playlists - create playlists that automatically update.

Context View - customize interface with the Plasma powered Context View.

PopUp Dropper - simplify drag&drop actions with revolutionary menu system.

Multiple Language Translations

Collection Management - organizing your music collection has never been easier with Amarok's powerful tagging, renaming, and sorting abilities.

Database Importing - import collections from Amarok 1.4 or iTunes.

Scriptable Services - integrate other web services into Amarok.

2. BANSHEE

Play your music and videos. Keep up with your podcasts and Internet radio. Discover new music and podcasts. Keep your portable device loaded with good stuff.
Simple enough to enjoy. Powerful enough to thrill. Open source through and through.

3. MINIROK
Minirok is a small music player written in Python for the K Desktop Environment. As its name hints, it's modelled after Amarok, but with a reduced set of features. In particular, it is designed to cover all the needs and wishes of the author, leaving everything else out. The look and feel is almost identical to Amarok's, though.

The main interface is a *tree view of the filesystem*, with a playlist that can only
be populated via drag and drop. There is no collection built from tags, so it's targeted at people whose collection is structured in a tree already at the filesystem level. Searches can be performed both in the tree view and the playlist.

Other features include:

DBus interface for controlling the player and retrieving the currently played track, among other things

alter the playing order in the playlist by queueing tracks; stop after a certain track; repeat track or playlist; random mode; undo and redo

reading of tags when adding to the playlist can be disabled by specifying a regular expression to extract them from the filename

submission of played songs to Last.fm

global shortcuts

Minirok is written using the PyKDE bindings and the GStreamer media framework.

4. jlGui Player

jlGui is a Music Player application for the Java Platform. It supports MP3, OGG Vorbis, FLAC, MONKEY's AUDIO, WAV, AIFF, AU and SPEEX audio formats. Front-end is WinAmp skins 2.0 compliant.

How To Upgrade Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx) To 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat) (Desktop & Server)

Start the Update Manager (System > Administration > Update Manager):

In the Update Manager, click on the Settings... button (in the lower left corner):

The Updates tab in the Software Sources window should open. Select Normal releases in the Show new distribution releases: drop-down menu and click on Close:

Back in the Update Manager, click on the Check button to check for new updates and distribution releases:

The Update Manager should show that a new distribution release (10.10) is available. Click on the Upgrade button to start the distribution upgrade:

A window with the release notes for 10.10 comes up. Click on Upgrade again:
The upgrade tool is now being downloaded. Afterwards, type in your password.
The upgrade is being prepared:


Click on Start Upgrade to finally begin with the upgrade process:
The upgrade packages are now being downloaded...

... and installed. This can take some time, so please be patient.

You might see the following message (Continue without installing GRUB?). I recommend to check the checkbox and click on Forward so that the system will continue to use the old, working GRUB. If you don't check the checkbox , the update manager will install a new GRUB and ask you on which device/partition it should be installed which can make the system unbootable if you select the wrong device/partition.

Because we had to change the Release upgrade settings in the Software Sources window, you will see the following message. It is ok to select Keep:

At the end of the upgrade process, you should remove obsolete packages:
The system needs to be rebooted to complete the upgrade, therefore click on Restart Now:

After the reboot, you can use your new Ubuntu 10.10 desktop:
