I have written following tutorial based on my system(Debian). It may work with little or no modification in your system too. First of all what is a network bridge? According to www.linux-foundation.org A bridge is a way to connect two Ethernet segments together in a protocol independent way. I assume if you are reading this then you must know lot more than this. So how do we create a bridge then? In windows it is very simple, just select the interfaces, right-click them and select create bridge. In Linux, you need to do it following: Edit your /etc/network/interfaces file vi /etc/network/interfaces Add the following codes iface br0 inet static address 172.16.5.1 netmask 255.255.255.224 gateway 172.16.5.5 bridge_ports eth0 eth1 OR iface br0 inet dhcp bridge_ports eth0 eth1 Save and exit. Go to Terminal. sudo ifup br0 Doing so will produce the following error SIOCSIFADDR: No such device br0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device br0: ERRO

Do you have old computer lying around in your store. Want to give life to it. Have you heard of puppy Linux?

Being so small, Puppy usually loads completely into RAM, which accounts for the incredible speed. Hardware Requirements CPU : Pentium 166MMX RAM : 128 MB physical RAM for releases since version 1.0.2 or failing that a Linux swap file and/or swap partition is required for all included applications to run; 64 MB for releases previous to 1.0.2 Hard Drive : None CDROM : 20x and up http://puppylinux.com/ Try it for yourself.

VLC media player The cross-platform media player and streaming server. VLC media player is a highly portable multimedia player for various audio and video formats (MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, DivX, mp3, ogg, ...) as well as DVDs, VCDs, and various streaming protocols. It can also be used as a server to stream in unicast or multicast in IPv4 or IPv6 on a high-bandwidth network. http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ Audacious Audacious is a fork of beep-media-player 0.9.7.1. First off, the fork has no political reasons, it is based entirely on technical merit. It's based on a few issues: * BMP classic had a number of deficiencies relating to Unicode. * BMP classic is no longer actively maintained by the development team. * We had our own ideas about how a player should be designed, which we wanted to try in a production environment. * Beep lacked functionality that is useful for people who do streaming, such as the songchange plugin from XMMS. Therefore, a fork seemed most logic

One major difference between IE and FF is the way they name file while saving the web page. IE saves by the title while FF saves by the title only if in URL there is no page name. In rest of the case FF saves by the page name. But people find lot convenient by saving by title name. To do so in FF you can add addon. Just search for the addon title save and install it and the next time you save the page it will be saved by the name of the title.

Check it out here . What is wine? Wine is an Open Source implementation of the Windows API on top of X, OpenGL, and Unix. Think of Wine as a compatibility layer for running Windows programs. Wine does not require Microsoft Windows, as it is a completely free alternative implementation of the Windows API consisting of 100% non-Microsoft code, however Wine can optionally use native Windows DLLs if they are available. Wine provides both a development toolkit for porting Windows source code to Unix as well as a program loader, allowing many unmodified Windows programs to run on x86-based Unixes, including Linux, FreeBSD, Mac OS X, and Solaris.
