Did you participate in the recent Firefox Download Day campaign, which involves helping Mozilla create a new Guinness World Record, of 8,002,530 downloads within 24 hours.

If you did, then you should be proud of yourself. As part of the success, users can download the certificate from the website here. Simply insert your name, and there you can easily download the PDF format of the certificate.

Using command line to download or upload files, from and to a web server can be really helpful. Without the need of Graphical User Interface (GUI), the power of using command line is equally good, if not better. Apparently, there is minimal resource requirement, yet the requirement to fulfill the task remains adequate.

Below, I will introduce how to simply use command line; that is using "ftp" and "sftp" commands in Linux to carry out file transfer operations.

Previously, I have written about creating a start-up Hamachi service script for Ubuntu Feisty Fawn. This time, with a little modification to the script, I will illustrate how to create a similar start-up script for Ubuntu Hardy Heron.

Hamachi, a powerful VPN service that allows user to communicate securely from a remote network over an Internet connection, is also known as LogMeIn Hamachi, after taken over by another company. It is available in various operating systems; that is, Microsoft Windows, Linux and Mac OS X. However, automatic start-up is not the default option during installation. Here, I will illustrate how you can do so in Ubuntu Hardy Heron (which is also applicable to most other Linux distributions).

I assume that you are able to successfully install Hamachi as a user basis. If not, you can find out from the README instruction when you download the installation script.

There is a chance for Coolest-Gadgets (CG) readers to win a fantastic Sony NWZ-A829 Walkman Video MP3 Player.

All that you need to do is to answer three very simple questions:

Question 1: What is the ‘special blue’ key feature of the NWZ-A829 Walkman?

Question 2: What is the LCD screen size of the NWZ-A829Walkman?

Question 3: How light is the NWZ-A829 Walkman?

Then, submit your answers.

Ubuntu has just officially released the latest version of Ubuntu 8.04 LTS (Hardy Heron) yesterday!

As the new version can be downloaded off from the website for users who want a fresh, new installation, current Ubuntu users may not want to do so. However, it is relatively easy to perform an distribution upgrade using the instruction listed here, but there is also an alternative solution, via the command line upgrade.

However, do note that command line upgrade is not recommended and it may result in apt crashing and manual problem fixing.
