One thing I liked about OpenSuse was the better GNOME start menu. And I was delighted to find out I can easily get it for Ubuntu too! To install new menu in Ubuntu (7.10, gutsy), install package gnome-main-menu using Synaptic (or use: sudo apt-get install gnome-main-menu). After installing the package you can right-click on the panel where you want to place the menu, and select Add to panel… and select ‘Main menu’ applet (note: default menu button is also named as ‘main menu’ so make sure you select the right one).
To get Search box to the main menu, install Beagle (from Add/Remove applications). If you decide to use Beagle, remember to disable Tracker indexing from Control Center > Sessions.

When it comes to the Google search box, you already know the tricks: finding exact phrases matches using quotes like "so say we all" or searching a single site using site:lifehacker.com gmail. But there are many more oblique, clever, and lesser-known search recipes and operators that work from that unassuming little input box.

Apple has updated Mac Pro and XServe (finally). New specs boost up to two 3.2Ghz quad-core Xeons, 4 terabytes of disk space and 32 gigabytes of RAM. Default option for graphics is Radeon HD2600, with maximum of 4x Radeon 2600HD’s in place which makes possible to use 8 (eight!) 30″ Cinema Displays. Geforce 8800GT and Quadro FX 5600 are also available. Impressive specs indeed. Wonder how Linux would run on this…

Slashdot is running an interesting article Is Apple Killing Linux on the Desktop? Well, sometimes Linux kills OS X. Don’t forget to read the entertaining flamewar comments.
