Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS Lucid x86_64 --Bourke 17:29, 7 July 2011 (CEST)

Sun-Java6 Setup
(Most MPDL Solutions don't work with ubuntu standard OpenJDK) sudo add-apt-repository “deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner” sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin sun-java6-jdk

And remove OpenJdk in case of clashes

sudo apt-get remove openjdk-6-jre icedtea6-plugin openjdk-6-jre-headless icedtea-6-jre-cacao

OpenSSHServer Setup
sudo apt-get install openssh-server

mailclient
sudo apt-get install thunderbird

rsync Command for Syncing Desktop / Laptop
rsync --verbose --progress --stats --recursive --times --perms --links --delete --exclude "*.vdi"   /home/myuser/  outofdatehostname:/home/myuser/

. Always run this from the machine that is currently up-to-date. Get this wrong, and files may be lost (the --delete parameter).

echo deadline > /sys/block/sda/queue/scheduler echo 1 > /sys/block/sda/queue/iosched/fifo_batch
 * 1) add discard, noatime options in /etc/fstab
 * 2) /tmp in RAM - not implemented - shouldn't be that useful ?
 * 3) changed default I/O algorithm to deadline from cfg
