UNR Auto-maximise madness
I love UNR but I dont always use my netbook like a netbook, I lke to run it at home on a big monitor and an external keyboard and mouse, so many of the netbook features are wasted and some are downright difficult to work with on a big monitor, one example is the auto maximize feature of a tool called maximus, using the code below you can disable this behavior.
gconftool-2 --set /apps/maximus/no_maximize --type BOOL true Tame the flaky SFTP

Open source video editing? You betcha.
Well at last I am doing full DV HD video editing on my linux desktop. It is *NOT* adobe premier pro, but it works for me. YMMV!
On my spanky Ubuntu Lucid 10.4 64bit,(and on Karmic too) I installed a bunch of great stuff:
First, lets install Openshot. It is weak on compositing or frame by frame editing, but it does some pretty awsome effects and makes inskcape your title editor. Also if you master out wuith it, will do Vimeo, youtube and flicker and picas video al in HD, yup, very nice, but you need some extras
sudo apt-get install inkscape libavformat-unstripped-52 Installing FLASH in Ubuntu 64
While mp3 and other audio and video formats have become relatively painless in the last few version of ubuntu with Lucid the easiest yet that I have seen in the Ubuntu family, Flash and Flash plug ins seems to be getting worse. I found a great link and a script will make this quite easy to do:

BUT, It made log in to download the script. I didnt like that, so I tried something else, I installed ubuntu-restricted-extras instead. That gives me flash and java at the same time
Quick and dirty iso rip on Ubuntu or on any Linux
The trick here is to know what device file on linux is used as your cdrom/dvdrom drive, then its a simple matter of:

This is something I have to do frequently so I am posting it here so I dont have to search for it!
Increase PHP memory limit (4 methods)
The one I use most is to use my php.ini file or do it inside the drupal settings.php file.
settings.php:
ini_set('memory_limit', '96M');php.ini:
memory_limit = 16M Sys admin tools on linux
I found this in the google cache and so I copied it, no author, sorry whoever you are. It used to be on the http://www.moolux.org/ website.
