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.

When the world goes nano-technology, we can all imagine electronics to be far more smaller and miniature than before. Indeed, a computer system with the CPU embedded inside the keyboard is finally here!

BlueHost, a popular web-hosting company has increased its lucrative features for customers. This time, it is probably more than anyone would have expected!

Account holders get to have Unlimited Bandwidth and Unlimited Storage for their very own web hosting solution. More information can be found here.

The following features are unlimited:

• Disk storage
• Bandwidth transfer
• Add-on domains
• Parked domains
• Email autoresponder
• Forwarding email accounts
• Subdomains

Furthermore, there are even other more attractive features available for BlueHost customers. And one of the main reasons why I am still sticking with them is because they do offer SSH, a very useful functionality for owners to login remotely onto the Linux system.

So far, my experience with BlueHost has been very enriching. I would highly recommend this as an entry level for paid web hosting service, particularly for its low cost as well.

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.
