2Click Update

A superb utility to maintain and install updates!! 2ClickUpdate is an useful package for users who don't seem to get a hang on repos and package lists. I have been using this app for about a week now, and I must say, superb indeed. A total hassle free management of package lists, installs the latest updates and libraries (of course with prior permission of the user), and the most impressive feature is that it removes dependencies that are no more needed. Yup, most important, RAM performance is good ever since I installed this package!! Give it a try and you will love it!!

1. First, download the package, click here to download.
2. After you have downloaded the package, launch terminal, login as 'root' user, navigate to the folder which contains the .deb file and execute the following command: 

                              sudo dpkg -i 2ClickUpdate_6.0_all.deb

   3.  Once installed, you will find this extremely useful package under
                    Applications >> System Tools >> 2Click Update.

Enjoy,
Cheers,

BleachBit: Delete unnecessary files!!

Offlate, I am bumping into an Ubuntu which isn't quite fast. I have a CQ60 machine, loaded with Ubuntu 10.10. While I was thinking of all possible reasons for it's unusual slowness, I came up with a vague idea- "Hey!! Linux also does some amount of processing enough to generate files (junk files and cookies)" So here I was searching the Ubuntu Software Center (hail the USC and Ubuntu developers, I just love the USC!), and found a handy tool - BleachBit!! Analogous to the "MS Windows Disk Cleanup Utility", BleachBit lets you delete Temporary Internet Files, Cookies, unused packages and helps free up valuable disk space in Ubuntu.

Let's go through the installation steps, shall we?

1. Well first navigate to Ubuntu Software Center, type in "BleachBit" in the search box.
2. Click on install.
3. You can find this app under Applications >> System Tools >> BleachBit

That's it, easy as 1,2,3...!!

If you need assistance on how to run this application, do leave a comment and I will help you out!!
