Switch between Terminal and Gnome

I have had some people ask me how to quickly switch to a terminal from within Gnome and back again, well UBUNTU has a shortcut you can do this with F1-F6 will get you a terminal and F7 will return you to your X-server if you left it intact.
If for instance you are updating your graphics driver or anything and you need to Kill the X-server you can do so in UBUNTU by typing

sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop

Also another neat thing some people don't know about the terminal in Linux is when you are typing in a file name if you are in the right directory and type the first letter of the word and click Tab it will appear remember Linux is case sensitive as well. Some times it will also give you a lot of choices as well.

Video Card

I bought a new video card this week since my other was lacking performance in the gaming dept. I have been playing Call of Duty and Timeshift. I really like Timeshift it is one of the better games I have played.

The card I got got works very well with Linux It detected it on boot up and everything has worked without a hitch.
