Control your Ubuntu using Ubuntu Control Center

[Tested on Ubuntu 10.04 and 10.10] Do you want something easier to manage Ubuntu? Yup, you can add a Control Center where it'll help you to do some task like Software Management, Hardware, Network and Internet, System, Local Disk and Account preferences. So how to install it?


Add XAMPP Control Panel in Ubuntu

[Tested in Ubuntu 10.10] Last time, I've installed XAMPP for linux in Ubuntu and I found that it's not too different from XAMPP for Windows. Yup, I think XAMPP for Windows is more easy to use because you can find XAMPP Control Panel there. With XAMPP Control Panel, you can start Apache, MySQL etc more easy, but how about XAMPP for Linux? Use terminal to start it? Yes, but there is another way! You can use a control panel too after you installed XAMPP for Linux. Here is the instruction, we will use phyton script :)

Enable FlashPlayer for Firefox in Ubuntu

[Tested in Ubuntu 10.10 installed with Firefox 3] Yesterday I installed Ubuntu 10.10 (again) in my laptop and the first problem I found: How to enable FlashPlayer 10 in my Firefox browser? I've followed instruction to install it from add-on manager from Firefox, but sometimes unsuccess. Yeah, you can use another browser for example Google Chrome which come with FlashPlugin. But if you still want to use Firefox browser; nah, this is the easiest way to do it. Follow my instruction :)
