By | September 1, 2011 | 1 Comment
Usually when we discuss the ways to clean up your Ubuntu system, it will always involve command lines like “autoremove“, “autoclean“, “clean” etc. For those who are not used to the command line, an alternative is to use GUI software to get the things done. One such software is 2ClickUpdate, which we have reviewed earlier. Another such software is Mechanig, which we are discussing today
There is nothing special for Mechanig as it is just a GUI wrapper for most of the commonly used optimization command. However, it can be really useful if you don’t want to dabble with the command line.

Wuala: An Alternative To Dropbox With Security In Mind
By | August 15, 2011 | 6 Comments
Dropbox is great, but it is not the best. While we love Dropbox for its versatility and cross-platform compatibility, we also hate it for its inability to secure files in the cloud.
