To be honest I never liked the default Gnome themes used by Ubuntu. Maybe it is because I don't like orange/brown/black colors for my desktop or maybe because I use KDE?! Nevertheless here comes Bisigi project which aims to improve the visualization of Gnome desktop. Bisigi provides a ppa repository for Ubuntu Lucid Lynx 10.04 which allows you to easily install complete Gnome themes. The themes come with wallpaper, GDM theme, GTK theme, Metacity theme, Emerald theme and of course icons. Here it is how to install them. Add comment (0)

In one of my previous guides I have shown you 
In this guide I will describe you the steps on how to easily convert MKV video files to AVI. Of course someone would ask why to do this, MKV along with the H.264 codec has better quality. Well a simple answer is in order to reproduce the video file on a standalone divx player and watch it in your TV or in any other portable device that doesn't support mkv files. Just for the record MKV stands for Matroska Multimedia Container and it is an open standard free container format, in other words it's a file format that can hold video, audio and subtitles in a single file.
If you are using Media Center software such as Windows Media Center (WMC), XBMC or Boxee you will know that it looks awesome when apart from the video files you keep movie's metadata, backdrops, posters, trailers, story plot etc. In this guide I will show you a freeware program which makes the job of collecting and organizing metadata fast and easy. 
It is well known that Apple does its best to keep its mobile devices (

and the new arrival 
) locked. Of course most Linux users don't like those practices but for one reason or another they might have an iPhone 3GS for example. If you want to synchronize your iPhone 3GS with your computer for Windows and Mac OS there is iTunes available. However for Linux iPhone support was a very big problem. Until know!
