Compatibility with music players might be an argument for MP3. P.e. iPhone does not support ogg out of the box while android does.

comment How do I install Revenge of the Titans?
what is the name of the deb file? I just downloaded and installed RevengeOfTheTitans-HIB-1811-i386.deb, I think they do update the links on the humble page, as the last file I downloaded did not have 1811 in the name... maybe try downloading again. Also check cat ~/.revenge_of_the_titans_1.80/revenge.sh.log

comment How can I execute a command through a browser?
If you just link it, it should get opened in a pdf viewer in your browser... If you don't have any pdf-viewer locally you might want to use a ssh x tunnel

And what should that do? Show the ebook in your browser? show it somewhere else? just open it without showing it anywhere? I'm confused

comment How do I get wireless to work on a Dell 10v 1011
Just wanted to clarify fossfreedoms comment: you need a working internet connection to start the "Hardware drivers" application (command is jockey-gtk). On my HP mini (Broadcom BMC43224) I had to plugin the cable to install the wireless drivers (they were very buggy btw, I think it's fixed now as the connection has been stable for some time now)

comment Use Computer headset like a hands-free for cell phone
nice one! I just tried it again, but I'm stuck at connecting (pairing worked, but after that I can't connect to the phone). But as you made it, it gives me new hope! I might play around with it some more...

comment Which tool to backup an ext4 partition?
actually, it's possible to zip the img file. It's also possible to just copy the files from inside the image file to a partition (did this with a system, worked!). So the destination partition can have any size. I'm not shure if it's possible to mount a zipped img file.
