Linux's best OS : Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and Mint 15 Olivia

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS is a long-term version that was created for extended support. It looks more like an OS x while Mint is a little bit more like Windows.

According to some experts, Mint15 is the outstanding OS of its generation. Then it's a no-brainer, you might say. Except that, Mint15 is based on Ubuntu and it suffers from the nine month support cycle that Ubuntu offers to all its releases(it used to be 18 months before). Ubuntu can be upgraded at the end of the cycle, unfortunately Mint doesn't have an update option. Your only option to upgrade would be a re-installation. So, after nine months Mint won't be getting any more security updates.

Photoshop or Gimp use too much memory? Try Pixlr in its three flavors.

Pixlr.com

Photoshop and Gimp are much more complete, but if you're not a professional photographer, Pixlr should more than fulfill your needs. Best of all, you don't have to install, download anything. It's in the "cloud." A little bit like Picmonkey, but much more complete.

It's three flavors are:
Editor(advanced), Expressed(efficient), Pixlr-o-Matic(playful).

Shields Up : Security System Test

https://www.grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2

Shields Up is an online port scanning service created by Steve Gibson of Gibson Research Corporation and hosted at grc.com. The purpose of this utility is to alert the users of any ports that have been opened through their firewalls or through their NAT routers. The utility can scan the most common file sharing ports, as well as all service ports (1-1056), and user defined ports, in sets of 64. The scanning servers have the static IP addresses of 4.79.142.192 to 4.79.142.207.
