Disabling lock on Suspend

(for laptop users)

Just read about it at: Disabling Password When Waking a Laptop

For many it may be considered a security risk, blah, blah, but I still vote for commodity.

This one goes to my linscripts:

# execute these commands from terminal
gconftool -s -t bool /apps/gnome-power-manager/lock/hibernate false
gconftool -s -t bool /apps/gnome-power-manager/lock/suspend false
# Done! :-)

Wallpaper rotation with Drapes

I was recently checking the news on Linux Journal, when this post caught my attention. I had seen this kind of software before, but never gave it a try on Ubuntu. The application Drapes is really simple.

After a simple installation:

$ sudo apt-get install drapes

It just worked perfectly.  I keep saying, if the quality and easiness of programs on Ubuntu (Linux in general) continue on this pace, there will be no room for competitors soon...
