This tips explains how to set up Tor in Feisty based on my own experience (with Gnome interface). Tor is a program that allows one to surf through a local proxy with a routed IP address (so the webpage you surf does not have a record of your own IP address). I got it work in Firefox2, so this tutorial will mainly be for Firefox users (if you use Firefox 1.5 or under, you need to install Privoxy in addition to the two steps below).
Installing Tor in Ubuntu Feisty
We will be using apt-get command to install Tor. However, the Tor copy in Ubuntu universe didn’t work for me. I had to use the one from noreply.org. To do so, do in the terminal Read More»

1. JackLab Audio Distribution (JAD for short) is a Linux distribution created especially for musicians and producers who wish to move over to an Open Source solution. Even if it’s not yet in its final version, JackLab tries very hard to provide its users with the best professional audio tools on an open source platform. The developers choose openSUSE Linux distribution for the grounds of JackLab, because they think it’s the most supported, simple and easy to use and customize distro. Read More»

Lately, mobile phones have evolved extremely fast, and whether you need them to access the Internet, record videos, send/receive MMS and SMS messages or e-mails, listen to music or radio stations, cellular phones are the most indispensable devices these days. But today’s guide will teach you a very easy way to connect and transfer files to/from your mobile phone using an USB cable through the Pop-Port interface. Many Nokia phones come with this Pop-Port and I just happen to be the proud owner of such a mobile device (Nokia N70).
The problem with the phones that use the Pop-Port is that when you connect the USB cable to your Linux PC, nothing happens. I bet you are (like me) probably used to see an “Open with…” window a few seconds after you connect some multimedia device (camera, phone, hard drive, ipod) in the USB port, but this will not happen with these phones. Don’t panic, I have the solution! You just have to follow the next steps: Read More»
Dell Inc. has recently started gaining some popularity as a company very fond of the Linux operating systems. The story started with Dell’s nice initiative of answering the users who demanded some Linux-based products on IdeaStorm forum. At that time, Dell announced the four Ubuntu-based systems which addressed the open source fans.
Soon after that, Dell was to add two other systems to this catchy offer and then announced they’re trying to develop a strategy for distributing them outside the United Stated too. After such offer, Read More»
Gmail’s huge success owes itself in large part to the wide range of applications, browser add-ons, styles, scripts and bookmarklets that work with it. From the get-go Google’s stayed out of developers’ way and turned a blind eye to unofficial Gmail add-ons, even ones that may very well violate its terms of service. Smart move: Google’s high tolerance for third-party apps have only helped Gmail win the hearts of power users and tweakers everywhere. Read More»
After covering setting up dual-boot DOS/Linux and Vista/Linux systems (where Windows was installed first), I decided it was time to take a look at how easy it is to install Vista onto a PC where a Linux distro was already installed. Turns out it’s not all that difficult, but it’s easier if Windows is installed first.
Now, I think it’s realistic to say that there’s going to be more people who want to install Linux onto a Windows PC than Windows onto a Linux system, but since a number of people contacted me privately by email asking for pointers, I still think that there’s an audience for this kind of information (most seem to want to set up Windows on a Linux PC so that they can play games on the system).
