If you are one of the old-timers who has migrated to Ubuntu from RedHat/Fedora distribution in the past, you might be familiar with the ntsysv tool in those Linux versions. I used to use that oddly-named tool to switch-on/off services in my Linux box. I was searching for a similar tool for Ubuntu, and found rcconf:

$ sudo apt-get install rcconf
$ rcconf

Recently I have been working with a demanding Web Designer based client. She was insisting on pixel-level spacing and detail. Thus I wanted to have a Screen Ruler for measuring her template. I use Ubuntu-based Linux, and found the following tools in its repository:

For KDE users:


$ sudo apt-get install kruler

For GNOME users:


$ sudo apt-get install screenruler
