GNU/Linux Inside stickers!

I've upgraded several cantankerous old laptops (which were at least three years old) with Linux (Linux Mint of course) this year and each and every one of them is now zippy little units with very satisfied owners.  One thing that gets up my nose is those revolting "Windows Inside" stickers.  The last thing I'd want to do is advertise the very thing that brought these poor laptops to their knees...

So I was delighted to find these "GNU/Linux Inside" stickers.  They're going on my next upgrade...

How To Setup A USB Webcam With Cheese

Got a Linux box that doesn't have a webcam (like a Microsoft LifeCam VX-5000 Webcam)but want to use Skype?  The solution to this issue is to install and setup Cheese.  To do this use the following command in the Terminal:

sudo apt-get install cheese

Next, run Cheese. Cheese should automatically detect your webcam and display live video stream.
