Singapore Airlines will be rolling out the A380 superjumbo on October 26th, and a surprise awaits in the seat of every passenger: their personal Linux PC, running Red Hat. In addition to running the in-flight entertainment, passengers can also use a full copy of StarOffice, and there’s a USB slot for importing/exporting documents or plugging in your own keyboard/mouse. Screen size is 10.6″ (1280×768) in economy, 15.4″ in business and a whopping 23″ in first class (along with free noise-canceling headphones). The system is already available on current B777-300ER planes and will also be outfitted on the upcoming B787 Dreamliners.

Seven common CSS Mistakes and How to Avoid Them. They are:

1. Do not use HTML tags to achieve formatting or styling. HTML tags should be used for semantic markup, and CSS attributes should be used to format the content.
2. Do not include CSS formatting directives inside HTML tags (or at least use them sparingly). Use CSS classes.
3. Define common formatting characteristics only once.
4. You can define more than one CSS class for each HTML element.
5. Use hierarchical selectors instead of extra CSS classes.
6. Store all CSS rules in external style sheets. Use the intra-document style sheets only to define exceptions that are local to a single document.
7. If needed, break the CSS rules into multiple files and import the common files into section-specific files with the @import CSS rule.

Continuing its string of branded versions of Firefox, Mozilla is set to release a “Campus Edition” aimed at students headed back to school. Firefox Campus is a little different that the previous branded versions we’ve covered (notably AllPeers and EBay) in that there’s no specific company involved, rather the campus edition of Firefox comes bundled with a number of add-ons students might find helpful.

The featured add-on in the campus edition are Zotero, FoxyTunes and StumbleUpon. Zotero is a research tool which helps collect, manage and cite research sources, while FoxyTunes lets you control various media players from within Firefox.

The StumbleUpon toolbar seems of dubious usefulness for students, though it is no doubt an excellent time waster and a fun way to find random, engaging websites.

The campus edition page should be available for download sometime later today.

While the student bundle is primarily a PR move on Mozilla’s part, and a good one at that, we can’t help thinking they left out some of the more useful plugins for students.

For instance, Research Word gives Firefox a handy contextual menu item to look up words and phrases in a variety of sources. Select the word to lookup and right-click the selection to access definitions from Wikipedia, Google Definitions, IMDb and more.

For the science majors there’s Biotech, which offers some links and tools for people wanting to research the field of Biotechnology.

Other cool tools for students include Diigo, a web highlighter and sticky note extension and the Sirsi Library System add-on, which is a great time saver if your university or school uses the Sirsi Library System.

Here are a couple of important and/or interesting links.

2 : HOWTO INSTALL UBUNTU
If you are new to Ubuntu then I recommend the Graphical Installation using the 6.06.1 live cd. (you probably need the 386 one)

System Requirements for Ubuntu (gnome) :
2 GB of free disk space (although 5-10 GB for the system and additional room for your data would be nice)
256 MB of RAM

How to obtain the Install CD
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GettingUbuntu

Once you’ve obtained the CD image, burn it to CD with this guide

Ubuntu uses Gnome on default.

Kubuntu (uses KDE instead of Gnome. Looks more blue than Gnome)

Xubuntu (uses XFCE4 instead of Gnome. Is lighter than Gnome)

3 : COMMON CUSTOMISATIONS

There is a good reason why Ubuntu doesn’t include better multimedia support on default.

Some file formats are proprietary, which means that they are owned by a company or other organisation. Sometimes, the owners of such formats charge licensing fees or impose legal restrictions on the use of their formats. This means that people may be unable to use or distribute these formats without first paying a fee or applying for a license.

A Free or open format is one which can be used by anyone, free of legal restrictions on how they use the format. Free formats are very popular - the World Wide Web is based on the open HTML standard. Ubuntu supports many free formats and the open-source community as a whole encorages their wider use.

You can choose one of the following methods to install and configure the most common wanted things.

4 : HOW TO INSTALL SOFTWARE

Add/Remove - the basic method

The easiest way of installing a package is to use the ‘Add/Remove’ tool. Click Applications –> Add/Remove… to start it. First, find the package or packages you want to install. You can search for a keyword, such as ‘email’, or look through the categories shown on the left hand side of the window. Once you’ve found a package you want to install, tick the box next to its icon. You can do this for as many packages as you like.

Once you’ve finished choosing, click the Apply button at the bottom of the window. Another window will pop up, showing all of the packages you’ve selected and asking if you’d like to apply the changes. To install the packages, click Apply. You’ll then be asked to type in your super-user/administrator password. Once you’ve entered it, another window will appear informing you of the installation progress. Once this has finished, click Close. Your new programs are installed, ready to use!

8 : SECURITY

Ideally, you run as a user that has only the privileges needed for the task at hand. In some cases, this is necessarily root, but most of the time it is a regular user.

Ubuntu is quite secure. Average users don’t need to install a firewall or a virusscanner. But remember security is a process instead of a product so you still have to be careful with what you do. For example don’t give root privileges to programs which don’t need them and don’t install server stuff (which might open ports) if you don’t need it.

Luckily for most people sound support is pretty good. If you don’t hear the drums when you your computer shows the login screen then you are probably having some sound issue (please check the cables first). If your soundcard doesn’t work at all then you have to fix that first. If you are new to Ubuntu and you know someone who’s good with Linux then this is a good moment to ask for his/her help.
