Cutomising your very own Mozilla Firefox web browser.

As firefox is trying to get more market share with new release 3.6 version, though having some bugs cleared from its previous version it has been trying several ways to make its browser user-friendly and more attractive. Firefox has recently released an add-on named 'Personas' which it endorses as 'dress-up your browser' is a very good add-on who wants to customise their web browser to skyblue, lady gaga, abstract images and many more. You can find the personas at:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/10900


Its free of cost and some of the themes have dazzling look. So who ever wants to show their  fashion segment to friends, peers etc can immediately download and show off.

Running Scientific Linux 5.4 with having your partition label as 'gpt'

Hello everyone, I have seen many people getting bogged down from using Scientific Linux because it doesnt support the partition label 'gpt'. I have my system running successfully with gpt partition label with Scientific Linux. And I will be documenting the procedure and post it as soon as possible. Thanks for being patient.

Installing NS2 in ubuntu 9.10

I have seen that there isn't any tutorial where it says the way to install the latest version of Network Simulator [NS2.34] in ubuntu 9.10.



step1: Untar the downloaded content.

You can download the latest version of Network Simulator software at
http://www.isi.edu/nsnam/ns/ns-build.html

Note: Unless you are experienced with the NS2 already, I would recommend you to download the 'allinone' NS2 package.

 
step2: Ensure that you have all the libraries installed.

$sudo apt-get install autoconf automake libxmu-dev
 

step3:

$sudo apt-get install build-essential

step4: navigate to the ns2 directory

$cd ns-allinone-2.34/
 

step5: Finally install

./install

Frequent errors that you might encounter:

make: *** [libotcl.so] Error 127 otcl-1.13 make failed!

Follow the below steps:


$gedit otcl-1.13/Makefile.in
 
#edit line 7
From :
CC=       @CC@

and/or
