After installing Ubuntu v5.1 (Breezy Badger) you are left with the distribution logo on the gnome-panel menu. Sure it’s cute, but the Gnome “foot” or even the Debian “spiral” deserves that space too. So, here is how you can change the (default) top-right Ubuntu logo.

So you may want to decide when your computer performs a check disk at boot! In a terminal simply run:

sudo tune2fs -c 50 /dev/hdx@

I have a laptop; therefore it sure is powered on/off much more often than a desktop computer which may even never be turned off!
See the “50″…that means it’ll check disk when you restarted your computer 50 times. I set it to 5 because I want it to be checked often. Decide for yourself and change the number “50″ to whatever you want.

Now the “/dev/hdx@” needs to be changed to where your Darling Ubuntu partition is. Here is mine:

/dev/hda2
I’ll just add this in case some very new users read this. In a terminal, copy/paste this:
“sudo fdisk -lu”
without the “”.
This’ll show you your partitions. For instance, my Ubuntu is on:
/dev/hda2 30716280 51199154 10241437+ 83 Linux
Good luck!

Here’s a good one for people who’ve been using Ubuntu for a while and now want to take more control over their system:
To make a script startup on boot:
First copy the script to /etc/init.d/
`sudo cp MYSCRIPT /etc/init.d/`
Then enable it
`sudo update-rc.d MYSCRIPT defaults`
…and that’s it. Simple and very useful.
Also, to enable/disable startup scripts:
`sudo apt-get install sysv-rc-conf`
`sudo sysv-rc-conf`
And then you can select/unselect services for each runlevel.

where apt-get store your deb packages ?

I have a PC and laptop installed with Ubuntu and i want to install a package at both side, the package are large. Instead of apt-get at both side that make it download two times, I transfer the deb from one side to another.

All the deb are store in /var/cache/apt/archives, copy all the needed deb(s) to another side and apt-get install will skip over the download steps and start unpack.
