Delicious

Do you wish that your bookmarks could by synced between your browsers, so that you would have the exact same bookmarks on each browser you use?

Do you also wish, you could use your bookmarks on a browser that you are not permitted to install a toolbar or anything else?

Well check out Delicious which is a free social media bookmarking site by Yahoo, so it allows you to create an account or use your Yahoo ID.

You can install their toolbar in various browsers including Firefox and Chrome. You can go to delicious.com/YOURID and see all your bookmarks on the go.

Give it a try along with StumbleUpon and you most likely will end up with a huge bookmark list of great websites.

StumbleUpon

Well check out StumbleUpon which through the use of a toolbar on your browser allows you to sign up for an account and tell it your interests.

After that, you simply click Stumble on the toolbar and it will send you to pages that other users with your same interests recommended and you will get a continious flow of interesting websites that you can bookmark on Delicious, more on that in a later post.

Do you wish that you could have a Debian/Ubuntu LiveCD that has exactly the software that you wanted besides what comes by default, for system administrator or maybe you need software for school like CISCO Packet Tracer.

The easiest way to do this, is to either install Debian/Ubuntu or one of it's derivatives on a physical machine like you normally install it or install it inside VirtualBox, VMWare, or other emulation software, if you don't have a free physical machine.

After you install the OS and set up all the software you want and configure it to your liking, simply follow these instructions at here at UbuntuGeek.

You can do either a LiveCD with your own personal settings (backup) or one for your friends (dist). You can also install it back to your hard drive later.
