ubuntu 10.10 glipper, liferea, byobu, dropbox

I've added glipper for clipboard enhancements. Native Liferea integrates nicely with google reader. I can sync my google reader subscriptions with Liferea for a desktop client. Byobu is a nice gnome-terminal enhancement. Dropbox is installed on my droid and on my laptop. I have 2GBs of storage. I've already used if for linxu from scratch pdf book. 
GLIPPER

For Byubo I had to modify gnome-terminal default profile prefences:
ctrl + alt + t

windows troubleshooting and optimizing performance

Disk Defragmenter is a Utility included in Microsoft Windows designed to increase access speed by rearranging files stored on a disk to occupy contiguous storage locations, a technique commonly known asdefragmenting. The purpose is to optimize the time it takes to read and write files to/from the disk by minimizing head travel time and maximizing the transfer rate. As of Windows XP, Disk Defragmenter is also used to improve system startup times.

CHKDSK is a command on computers running DOS, OS/2 and Microsoft Windows operating systems that displays the file system integrity status of hard disks and floppy disk and can fix logical file system errors. It is similar to the fsck command in Unix.
On computers running NT-based versions of Windows, CHKDSK can also check the disk surface for physical errors or bad sectors, a task previously done by SCANDISK. This version of CHKDSK can also handle some physical errors and recover data that is still readable.
