Quick Tip #1
Disable Overlay Scrollbars in GNOME
For Ubuntu 12.10, open a terminal and type the following command:
gsettings set com.canonical.desktop.interface scrollbar-mode normal
Changes should occur instantly. The overlay scrollbars should now be replaced with normal scrollbars.

For Ubuntu 12.04, use the following command:
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface ubuntu-overlay-scrollbars false
Log out and log back in for changes to occur.
Quick Tip #2
Mount an ISO Image from Command-Line
sudo mount -o loop /path/to/image.iso /path/to/empty/dir
Notice that /path/to/empty/dir must exist and should be empty.
Quick Tip #3
Find Out Current GNOME Version
For GNOME:
gnome-shell --version
For the Compiz window manager, use:
compiz --version

The artwork is following a light-blue pattern. You can download an archive containing the artwork from here. The package contains PNG and SVG files for the background, grub, the Debian installer, syslinux and even artwork designed for merchandising purposes (like T-Shirts, mugs etc).

I was pretty reluctant in trying Steam on Linux ever since it was made available, but what made me install it was that Counter-Strike is now available on Linux via Steam too. I used to play this a lot a few years back and CS for Steam was put out on February 6. So I bought the Counter-Strike Anthology pack during this weekend deal and decided to give it a try.
