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.

What’s the single biggest advancement Linux has brought to the industry?

According to the GNU/Debian Linux founder Ian Murdock the answer is: Package management.

I believe that Ian is right. Some will argue that Microsoft has introduced the (Windows Installer) MSI, but it is far from what the Debian and the Gentoo package management system delivers. – Maybe the Windows Installer and the powerful Linux based packaging system cannot be compared.
