UncomplicatedFirewall
Introduction The Linux kernel in Ubuntu provides a packet filtering system called netfilter , and the traditional interface for manipulating netfilter are the iptables suite of commands. iptables provide a complete firewall solution that is both highly configurable and highly flexible.

Try This Great Looking Conky Lua Configuration For Ubuntu, Fedora Or Linux Mint
Despot77 posted a great looking Conky Lua configuration at Gnome-Look that displays some beautiful rings for the cpu, clock, ram, swap, disk, net and also comes with an easy way to display the weather that doesn't involve you register to any website, work with API keys and so on. Another thing I like about this configuration is that it comes with various color themes and distribution logos: Fedora, Linux Mint and Ubuntu (update: the package also provides Debian and openSUSE configurations). Here is a screenshot of my desktop - setting it up took under one minute so don't get scared about the instructions below, it's actually quite easy: To set it up (obviously, you must install conky first), download the archive from Gnome Look , extract it and: 1. Create a folder called ".conky" in your home directory and copy the Linux Mint / Ubuntu / Fedora image to this folder.
A new screenshotting tool has been added to the Ubuntu Software Center. Screencloud sits the menu area, allowing for quick snapping of windows, specific areas or application windows, then directly uploads them to either FTP or the ScreenCloud website for easy sharing. Features The charm of ScreenCloud is undoubtedly in its simplicity. It takes and uploads screenshots, nothing more. But for advanced options you’ll want to head on into the preferences.

What is Enrollix? Enrollix is a free software for GNU/Linux, Windows and OS X useful to manage enrollments of people to associations, communities, groups, classes, teams, magazines and events like meetings, parties, etc. The software allows to collect detailed personal data of members and of their enrollments with a possible fee, to select them according to any kind of filter and to produce a small balance of the revenues, which can be saved in a CSV (comma separated value) file; this file can be opened with a spreadsheet like Calc or Excel. Furthermore, it is possible to prepare different models of certificates (like a receipt or a certificate of membership) within the software and then print them with the data of any member, also with a possible progressive number (like protocol) within it.

Summary This document discusses issues necessary for consideration when creating an Ubuntu derivative distribution. The discussions are inspired by the South African derivative ImpiLinux , a very recent development, but should be general enough so that it extends to other initiatives.Here, we document the standard changes we have to make across the distribution to set up the right technical and aesthetic defaults, and all the places where branding may be required.

DistributionDefaultsAndBranding
This page is unofficial guide how to create Ubuntu derivative distribution according to Ubuntu policies and common sense, so that cooperation between derivative distro and Ubuntu is maintained and both can benefit from it. It is a collection of links to discussions, tools and useful pages, but note that even statements from Ubuntu employees are not legally binding and the final rules are set by legal documents . However, by obeying rules stated here you present good will and cooperation with the community. Ubuntu (and its main derivatives) are great distributions, but they do not fit all possible needs and use cases.
