GNOME,
HOWTO,
Tips N Tricks While updating Wired HowTo Guide Linux Style I came across G-Script which is a collection of scripts for use in Gnome's Nautilus file manager.
And as things go I was searching for a way to add shred to the context-menu of Nautilus just like you can with Thunar plug-ins and ended up finding a new toy to tinker with.
A nautilus script is just an executable shell script (usually bash) that is placed in a special scripts directory so that the Nautilus graphical shell can find it. This is a really neat function of Nautilus, because it allows you to extend the functionality of the file browser to do just about anything. ~ G-Script FAQ

HOWTO,
Tips N Tricks While I'm at work I use Windows. While I'm at home I use Linux.
While I'm at work I'm usually working. While I'm at home I'm usually working on my next Linux or Programming HOWTO.
Well it's been a slow copule of weeks at work and I don't very work to do that is urgent and I'd really like to crank out some Linux howto's but it's kind of hard to do on a Windows PC.
Then I discovered Microsoft's VirtualPC 2004 which is FREE and now I'm posting this from Firefox running on Xubuntu via VirtualPC.
So if or when you're stuck on a Windows PC and you want to run a Linux LiveCD this article's for you.

64 bit compatibility
This hack is from OS News: Fedora Core x86-64 Hints 'n' Tips
"Theoretically Fedora should be like every other 32 bit Linux. Keep in mind that by default 64 bit libraries are preferred. A helpful command is "linux32." It is a shell script that makes the environment look like a standard i686. Suppose you want to compile something to 32bit not 64 bit - you use linux32. Also use it when a program refuses to install saying your system is unsupported."
