The ability to theme and extend firefox through plugins is one of the most powerful features that the browser has to offer. A lot of the addons that I install I end up deploying to more users then myself and luckily firefox has a neat way of allowing you to install additions into the global config. Just use the

–install-global-extension

or

–install-global-theme

flags. An example would be

firefox –install-global-extension /tmp/test-extension.xpi

Now every user will have test-extension installed in their own firefox instance!

If you have netcat and dd installed, you have a wicked fast way to clone a harddrive over the network.  You’ll need netcat and dd installed on both machines.   On the target machine (the machine you want to push the drive image to) run

nc -l -p 1337 | dd of=/dev/sda

and on the host machine (the machine you want to clone)

dd if=/dev/sda | nc 192.168.1.1 1337

This assumes that your IP is 192.168.1.1, so adjust accordingly.
