Proud of Hardy - Firefox downloads

Posted at 1:18 am in ubuntu

While Firefox 3 inclusion in hardy was quite disputed I can say I am quite happy about it.
This evening I was downloading a big file. After some waiting firefox found an update for my extensions and asked to be restarted.

Having just forgot about my download, I said yes and, wow ! After restarting the download resumed just from the point I left it !

Firefox resumed download

History trick with terminal

Posted at 11:47 pm in ubuntu

Fire up your gnome terminal, and press ctrl+r. Now you can find-as-you-type any command you gave in the past (limited to your bash history size). Neat !
