Setting DropBox for using Free Cloud

Settled Dropbox on both of the college $window$ and my own linux machine. Other option is UbunutOne ( I am using this service of Ubuntu too..).

Now using free online cloud to share my documents and data. 2GB space with additional space (rewarding points for referring).

Maximum free space is only 2GB. For more space you have to purchase premium plans.

The points good about Dropbox are-

1. Sharing same folder between two computers. (Irrespective of the platform whether Linux, window$  or mac$)

2. Create links to your folders so any one on the web can access your folder.

I am using it, will comeup with more tools.

Install software using .deb and .bin package in Linux (Ubuntu)

For installing debian package in Ubuntu..

Debian package manager is used to install debian packages on Ubuntu. We have full software in the form of debian package.

dpkg is a tool to install, build, remove and manage packages. dpkg itself is controlled entirely via command line parameters. For example -i use to install .deb file.

                                      
                                $dpkg -i  filename.deb


Bin package installation in ubuntu

Simply make it executable
                              $chmod +x filename.bin

now the file is executable

                               $./filename.bin
