Logwatch Fix on Ubuntu 8.10

http://beginlinux.wordpress.com

Logwatch Error - Logwatch is a program that will parse your logs and send you an email every day about what has taken place on your server, a very friendly program. With Ubuntu I kept getting this error, though I checked, I could not find a solution so, as it looked like it was missing a location /var/cache/logwatch, I created one and it worked perfectly.

Firefox performance tip

http://icehot.wordpress.com

Just found this and thought i had to share it:

Firefox insists on doing huge amounts of I/O when closing, as well as act slow when using the awesomebar, try the following (close down Firefox completely first):

for f in ~/.mozilla/firefox/*/*.sqlite; do sqlite3 $f ‘VACUUM;’; done

10 things Linux Ubuntu should REALLY copy from Mac OS X

http://grigio.org

Linux grows up less than Mac OS, Why? It is free, secure, portable and (relatively) easy of use (Ubuntu). The most important reasons are: Mac still offers a better user experience (as Mark Shuttleworth admits) and not enought commercial software are avalaible for Linux.
