I am using VirtualBox for a long time now, although i know there is an performance penalty i never bothered to check how big it was.

Couple of days ago i needed to connect digital projector and an second screen to my laptop. I found out that when you have an nvidia graphics card you can use a nice graphical utility to do this instead of manual approach with xorg.
Just install:
| sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings |
and then start with:
| nvidia-settings. |
With this tool you are able to change settings, detect external displays and attach them very easily. This settings tool helped me so I thought I would just spread the word.

Finally 64 bit Linux users can enjoy Flash without ndiswrapper. Adobe has showed us some mercy and they made a native Flash 10 for 64 bit platform for Linux. On this moment it is only an alpha version but it seems to work quite nice.
Here are the installation instructions from Adobe it self:
| 1. Download the plugin to begin installation. A dialog box will appear asking you where to save the file. 2. Save the .tar.gz file to your desktop and wait for the file to download completely. 3. Quit your browser. 4. Remove all existing Adobe Flash Player installations from the system. 5. Unpackage the file. A directory with contains libflashplayer.so will be created. 6. Copy libflashplayer.so to ~/.mozilla/plugins. Create the ‘plugins’ folder if it does not exist yet. 7. Launch your brower. To verify installation in Firefox choose Help > About Plug-ins from the browser menu. |
