Unoffical Ubuntu Bookmarks

[majikstreet]

What is this?
This is a bookmark file created by zenrox. (I, majikstreet, am going to help him out)
This file contains many links to helpful information for Ubuntuers.
How can I help?
You can post some of your favourite links in this thread and we will try to add them.

How do I download them?
Please see zenrox's post below with the latest file.

How do I install them?
First you want to download them.
Then open a terminal and cd to the directory where the file is saved (Usually ~/Desktop)
Then in the terminal type this:

tar xvjf ubuntubookmark.tar.bz2

Now open Firefox (or whatever browser you use), go to "Manage Bookmarks", then File >> Import. Then select "From File". Then navigate to where the file is saved and import it!

Now you can just go to "Bookmarks" and see the bookmarks!

If you have any suggestions, please post them here! :p

OK, here's a few:

http://juljas.net/linux/skype/
Skype for Linux resources. Fixed the "resource is busy" problem I was having with skype, preventing me from making more than one call.

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=56835
Kernel Compilation for Newbies. Kernel compilation isn't hard, just intimidating. This helps fix that.

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FirefoxNewVersion
Firefox 1.5 install instructions. The beta 1.5 runs so much faster on Linux than any previous installation. The best thing I've done since installing Ubuntu. This walks you though it, since you can't just apt-get it, and there isnt a .deb package.

Easy Ubuntu. Install and configure many often-wanted pieces of software. Helps you get a working desktop install with codecs, media players, etc all up and running with just a few clicks. Awesome.

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=66563
Automatix. Very similar to the above.

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=27039
Howto: Multimedia keys. Helped me get some of those multimedia keys on my laptop running like I wanted them to.

Prelinking.

http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/
Ubuntu Blog. A blog of some guy that posts neat Ubuntu tips.

http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/ThinkWiki
ThinkWiki. Not Ubuntu specific, but has all sorts of hard-to-find data about IBM Thinkpads, geared towards Linux, but useful for any Thinkpad user. As I only use IBM laptops, this is a huge help for me.

Whoops, here's another one:

De-uglify QT apps. Made a huge difference in making certain programs (those that use QT) not look so damn hideous. Great tip.
