How To Install Unity 5.0 In Ubuntu 11.10

The Ubuntu 11.10 users can install and test Unity 5.0, thanks to the power of PPA. You just need to remember that Unity 5.0 is not stable yet and it might break certain things. I have been using it on my systems for a while now and it is working fine. Then, Ubuntu users don't fear of trying new things, right? So, here we go.

Open the terminal and run this command
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:unity-team/staging

Then update the repositories
sudo apt-get update

And now upgrade the system by running this command:
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Is the Linux Desktop actually growing?

Summary: No, the Linux desktop will never knock off Windows, but it may actually be a bigger player on traditional desktops than usually believed.

Hundreds of thousands of people are switching to the Linux desktop.

I use a Linux desktop. According to Google Analytics, 12% of the visitors to my various technology Web sites use Linux. Nevertheless, I know that on the traditional desktop, the vast majority of ordinary users are running Windows, and don’t even get me started on “The Year of the Linux Desktop.” It’s not going to happen. But, and this is interesting, it appears that there is a slight upward trend in desktop Linux use.

First reported by Katherine Noyes on Linux Insider, it turns out that the Web research firm Net Applications’data show that Linux’s desktop market share has been growing , from a mere 0.97 percent in July, 2011 to a new high of 1.41 percent in January, 2012.

Cool Ubuntu Tips and Tricks for Beginners

How to Restart X

'X' is, correct me if I'm wrong, the desktop environment of Ubuntu or Linux or in other words it provides the graphical user interface in Linux systems.
Remember in Windows 98 when you wanted to restart your computer because an application was creating problems, we would press ctrl+alt+del twice and the system would restart.
Ubuntu has a similar option, if we are having problems with the GUI or if your system has stalled then the last resort will be to Restart X with the command ctrl+alt+backspace. The difference here is that, instead of restarting your whole computer this will only restart X. It's much quicker :)

UBUNTU TIPS AND TRICKS

   Customize the Panel

Ubuntu includes a top panel and a bottom panel by default. If you prefer to keep only one panel at the bottom just like the Windows Taskbar, then these are the steps to follow:

1. Delete the bottom panel: right-click over it and click "Delete This Panel".
2. Move the top panel to bottom: right-click over it, select "Properties" and change Orientation from "Top" to "Bottom".
3. Add running program buttons: right-click the panel, select "Add to Panel", scroll down and select "Window List", click "Add".
4. Replace the Menu Bar ("Applications-Places-System") with the "Main Menu" to save space in the panel:
   
   1. Right-click the "Menu Bar" and select "Remove From Panel".
   2. Right-click the panel, select "Add to Panel" and choose "Main Menu", click "Add".
   3. Right-click the items (Firefox, etc) and untick "Lock to Panel".
   4. Right-click the added "Main Menu", select "Move" to relocate it to the far left. (See Note 1 below)
