Tunneling SSH over HTTP(S)

This document explains how to set up an Apache server and SSH client to allow tunneling SSH over HTTP(S). This can be useful on restricted networks that either firewall everything except HTTP traffic (tcp/80) or require users to use a local (HTTP) proxy.

Ubuntu 6.04 will certainly be a top-notch professional OS

With Flight 5 comes a new and improved Human Look-and-Feel, a few new GUI power tools, and much more. Personally, I like the following:

New Icons:
Along with the new Ubuntulooks theme engine comes a new sleek set of icons. Icons make up a large part of the user experience, and a good icon set can really spice up the desktop and make a great impression on people.

Improved Add/Remove Applications
Add/Remove Applications provides users, especially new users, with a very simplistic and easy to use interface for finding and installing software.

Graphical Power Tools

Linux based operating systems are loved by many because of their powerful capabilities on the command line. For less technical users the command line is not the coziest place to be. To help new users be more comfortable using Ubuntu, the Ubuntu developers have started to put a pretty face on traditional command line tools creating a set of Graphical Power Tools Such as:

gdebi
Traditionally, to install some package you would have to go to the command line and run a command. This is not easy for new users. gdebi comes to the rescue to solve this issue. With gdebi a package (and its dependencies) can be installed graphically with a few mouse clicks.

Graphical Shutdown
Users now see almost no text messages, that scare them, on the startup and shutdown screens.
