    I have yet to find satisfaction since I used to find webui for rtorrent. However, I recently found a nice web interface for rTorrent that was not only clean and beautiful but also contains many features. If you are interested, hurry to the following website to download it now!

  • dd' was needed to interact with the block devices,
  • 0 down vote You want to use dd so that you can specify things like bsize
  • tuning this to some multiple of 4k is going to be much faster than cat
  • dd has a number of useful extra features for more complex data copies
  • 2 down vote If I remember correctly, dd is much more "low level" in is approach, skipping such fancy things as filesystems and all the bells and whistles :)
  • dd is problematic in the presence of disk errors, and can hang or more importantly ignore non readable data

    Fascinating discussion over at Stack Overflow. Elucidates some of the subtle differences between dd and cat, and when and why you might want to use one over the other.

  • What Ubuntu seems to aiming for is a unified UI across devices - mobile, tablets, netbooks, laptop and yes, the good old desktop dinosaur.
  • Shuttleworth seems to have a clear vision in mind for Ubuntu's future. As with Apple, some will love to come along for the ride, others will scoff, but one thing is for sure - the future of Ubuntu will not be boring.

  • Is OpenOffice.org getting faster?
  • Some complain OpenOffice.org is slow and bloated. With each release there may be dozens of performance improvements, but there are also new features, some of which may slow things down. This the natural balance in software development, but in the end, what is the net effect on performance from one version to the next?
  • In conclusion, OpenOffice.org is generally getting slower with each release. However, startup performance has made great improvements, the performance losses are relatively small, advances in new computer hardware are more than making up the loses, and OpenOffice.org continues to mature with new features. OpenOffice.org doesn't compel users to upgrade, so you are welcome to continue using older versions.

    Isn't Qubes just another Linux distribution after all? Well, if you really want to call it a distribution, then we're more of a "Xen distribution", rather then a Linux one. But Qubes is much more than just Xen packaging -- it has its own VM management infrastructure, with support for template VMs, centralized VM updating, etc, and also its very unique GUI virtualization infrastructure. What is the main concept behind Qubes? To build security on the "Security by Isolation" principle. Key architecture features:Based on a secure bare-metal hypervisor (Xen)Networking code sand-boxed in an unprivileged VM (using IOMMU/VT-d)No networking code in the privileged domain (dom0)All user applications run in "AppVMs", lightweight VMs based on LinuxCentralized updates of all AppVMs based on the same templateQubes GUI virtualization presents applications like if they were running locallyQubes GUI provides isolation between apps sharing the same desktopStorage drivers and backends sand-boxed in an unprivileged virtual machine(*)Secure system boot based on Intel TXT(*)
