1 tip for faster internet browsing

set your DNS to use google's domain name servers

so what i did on ubuntu was this:

sudo nano -w /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf

look for this line:

#supersede domain-name "fugue.com home.vix.com";

then directly below it, paste in this line:

supersede domain-name-servers 8.8.8.8,8.8.4.4;

restart networking (i just push the wireless button on my laptop off then on again, or you could pull out your cat5 internet cable and put it back into your computer again), then check to see that your change has taken effect:

sudo nano -w /etc/resolv.conf

you should see at least these 2 lines:

nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 8.8.4.4
