Enabling Compiz Fusion On An Ubuntu 7.10 Desktop (NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200)
This tutorial shows how you can enable Compiz Fusion
on an Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon) desktop (the system must have a
3D-capable graphics card - I’m using an NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200 here).
With Compiz Fusion you can use beautiful 3D effects like wobbly windows
or a desktop cube on your desktop.

Setting Up A Debian Packages Proxy With apt-cacher

Setting Up A Debian Packages Proxy With apt-cacher
There are many ways to
install a Debian Linux but the most common is certainly to use the net-install 160MB CDROM. You can download it from http://www.debian.org/CD/netinst/. Booting up your PC from
this CD, you will be capable of setting-up a basic Linux system;
downloading updates, extra softwares and language support directly from
the Internet. But using this method of installation on more
than one PC in your LAN results in a massive waste of your precious
bandwidth. Therefore, maybe you should consider using a
cloning utility like “Sysimager”. But, as it is most likely that every
computer will be slightly different one from another one, you should
consider setting up a Debian Package Proxy as a long term solution.
