1. If you like having close, maximize and minimize buttons on the right in Nautlius, type :
gconftool-2 -s /apps/metacity/general/button_layout -t string "menu:minimize,maximize,close"
in your console.
2. If your new Mozilla Thunderbird 3.0 doesn’t read your old e-mails, please change name of .mozilla-thunderbird in your home directory to .thunderbird.

1. Be sure you have following options checked in your Ubuntu kernel:
File systems -> Miscellaneous filesystems -> UFS file system support (read only) (UFS_FS)
File systems -> Partition Types -> PC BIOS (MSDOS partition tables) support (MSDOS_PARTITION) -> BSD disklabel (FreeBSD partition tables) support (BSD_DISKLABEL)
Default kernel for Ubuntu has already this options.
2. After rebooting type in console:
dmesg | grep bsd
You shoud receive similar output:
[ 2.108529] sda4: <bsd: sda8 sda9>
It means that you have Freebsd installed on sda4 partition, and sda8 and sda9 are so-called “slices”
3. Use command similar to:
mount -t ufs -r -o ufstype=ufs2 /dev/sda8 /media/free
For older versions of Freebsd:
mount -t ufs -r -o ufstype=44bsd /dev/sda8 /media/free
or
mount -t ufs -r -o ufstype=ufs /dev/sda8 /media/free
might be more suitable.

Here is my script for auto-purging of removed packages (the script deletes remaining configuration files of package) in Ubuntu:
#!/bin/sh for i in `dpkg -l | grep ^rc | cut -f 3 -d ' '` do dpkg -P $i; done
