comment How do I update from 9.10 to the newest verson?
Your question is pretty much a duplicate of How do I upgrade from Ubuntu 9.10 to 12.10 on my Acer Aspire 3000? & How to upgrade Ubuntu 9.10 to 12.10 via terminal? , however if you really want to take the long road and upgrade, here's a detailed guide - How do I upgrade from 10.04 or 11.10 to 12.04?

comment How to add MIME Type for the Apache webserver?
The httpd.conf is located at /etc/apache2/httpd.conf and it's a good idea to make a backup of the original file before you play around with it. As for the .htaccess file, please refer to @dobey 's answer

You don't need to use gedit if you don't have it installed, just use any text editor, even nano, so you could do sudo nano /etc/hosts

Yes. Linking your account with Gwibber and posting from there does that.

comment Google.com redirect malware on FF
Have you tried running Firefox in Safe Mode? That'll disable all extensions, so that might help in troubleshooting if an extension is responsible for it (eg., a rogue greasemonkey script).

comment Ubuntu One on Linux Mint won't install: Depends: libnautilus-extension1a
Welcome to Ask Ubuntu! This isn't the correct Stack Exchange site to ask questions about non-official Ubuntu distributions (see the FAQ). However, it would be on-topic at the Unix & Linux Stack Exchange.

comment System doesn't show option to select operating system during startup!
I don't think there is a /etc/grub/menu.lst file in 12.04 since 12.04 uses Grub2. And once again @gnuyoga please do post comments when requesting the OP for further information. Thanks :)
