As a regular Linux user I use SSH over and over again during a workday. Normally it is almost the same hosts I connect to every day or just a few different, all in all the amount of hosts I connect to regularly is fairly small.
To avoid tedious and repetitive username and host type-ins, I found a small GNOME applet called SSHMenu, which keeps all regular SSH connections available within a single mouse click.
This screenshot depicts the idea.

Creating PDF-files from almost any application under Windows is easy using PDFCreator. PDFCreator provide a printer driver, which is exposed to the user as any other printer, so the user use it like a printer in Word, Excel or any other Windows application.
For Linux or Ubuntu Linux cups-pdf provides the same functionality.
Install it easily using this:
$sudo aptitude install cups-pdf
Restart your printing service (CUPS) using:
$sudo /etc/init.d/cupsys restart
Then you should be able to add a new printer (System->Administration->Printing) selecting the “Local Printer†“PDF Printer†option. In the next step choose “Generic Printer†and then used the “Postscript Color Printer (Ver 3)†driver.
Newly setup printer should now be able to print pdf-files.
