Create a Bootable Ubuntu USB Flash Drive the Easy Way
We’ve already covered how to use an Ubuntu Live CD to backup files from your dead Windows computer, but using the boot cd can sometimes be a little slow. We can speed up the booting process by installing Ubuntu to a bootable USB flash drive instead.
To accomplish this, we’ll use a tiny software package called UNetbootin, which is designed to make the installation process simple and easy. -

Create an Encrypted Private Directory with eCryptfs
eCryptfs is a kernel-native cryptographic filesystem. It’s also a stacked filesystem, eCryptfs must work on top of another filesystem such as Ext3. This means that you don’t need to allocate space for eCryptfs, it will grow and shrink as you add files to it.
eCryptfs will be used in Ubuntu 8.10 to provide an encrypted private directory for every user. I set up my own private directory in Ubuntu 8.04. It’s not a user friendly solution like it will be in the next version of Ubuntu, but it’s not too difficult to simplify mounting and unmounting with some launchers. -

Unix-tutorials.com
I made a website where I could add tutorials that might come in handy later on. When I started with Linux I was frustrated as there were no place where you could find most of the tutorials and howtos. So now a lot of time has passed and I decided to make life easier for guys like I used to be who're just starting with UNIX based operating systems. Also we're not focused on Linux, we accept tutorials as long as OS it meant for is based on UNIX.

An Introduction to the Linux Command Line
To most Windows users the prospect of typing in what you want your computer to do is completely foreign and thus intimidating. It’s so intimidating in fact that Linux developers have poured countless hours into designing GUIs (graphical user interfaces) to imitate and/or replace text-based commands. But sometimes the command line is still the fastest, easiest, or only way to get something done.
