(Acrobat Reader is no longer in the medibuntu repository)

If you have upgraded to Ubuntu 9.10 (karmic kola) and want to install Acrobat Reader (acroread) you have to enable the canonical partners repository:

Go to the GNOME Menu : System > Administration > Software Sources

Select tab Other Sources

Mark: deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu karmic partner

Reload your sources, either graphically or with:

sudo apt-get update

And then as usual simply install acroread via synaptic or with the command:

sudo apt-get install acroread

As a Linux fan, every time a new version of my current favorite distro -ubuntu- comes out (every six months) I download the ISO image burn it into a CD an perform a clean install. So I got a bunch of CDs, that I don’t really need after installation.

But not any more. This is what’s needed to do it from a USB flash drive and stop the CDs to pollute:

1. Download you ISO.
2. Install UNetbootin:
   

   sudo apt-get install unetbooting

3. Start it from Applications>System Tools>UNetbootin
4. Select your ISO file, and click on Accept.
5. One the USB is ready, boot from it and install Linux as yoiu would do it from the CD.

Notes:

1-UNetbootin Runs also from Windows

2-UNetbootin can download the ISO for you, but of course if it’s too know it migh not appear in the list…

There are not technical reasons, only Apple marketing policies, but the iPhone is not allowed to run multiple applications simultaneously , by design only the phone, mail, ipod, and maybe some other Apple application can run in the backgroud.

This is of course not the desired behavior for many cases…

Multitasking you can, for example:

• Have a messaging service available at any time.
• Have an IP phone (e.g. skype, gizmo5) available all time.
• Pause a game,  go to write an email, read the news, and go back to the game…etc.
• etc

So this is what’s needed to enable Multitasking in your iPhone:

1. In order to enable it, the iPhone must be jailbroken, if  it’s not, there’s a jailbreak how to here.
2. From Cydia (or Icy), search and install the backgrounder app. This will provide the availability to run applications in the background.
3. From Cydia (or Icy), search and install the application kirikae. This will provide a task manager that will let you switch between open applications and close them. You can also add favorite apps to open faster.
4. Have Fun
