Wikiseek - A Wikipedia Search Engine

The search engine company SearchMe has launched a new service, Wikiseek, which indexes and searches the contents of Wikipedia and those sites which are referenced within Wikipedia. Because Wikiseek only indexes Wikipedia and sites that Wikipedia links to, the results are less subject to the spam and SEO schemes that can clutter up Google and Yahoo search listings.

If you use Firefox you can install the Wikiseek Search Extension to add Wikiseek to the search form inside all Wikipedia pages.

How to install anything in Ubuntu

Web site Cutler Software posts a detailed guide to installing any Linux app from the perspective of a new-to-Linux Windows user. The guide starts with the basics of Synaptic (sort of the Add/Remove software tool for Linux), delves into installing apps from the command line, then finishes with steps necessary to manually install a package.

When I installed Ubuntu in a triple-boot setup with Vista and XP, this straight-forward guide would have come in so handy. If you've made the move to Ubuntu - or you're considering making that leap - this guide is a must-bookmark.
