To fix the subj issue
add the following lines:

export XKL_XMODMAP_DISABLE=1
gconftool-2 -t bool --set /apps/gnome_settings_daemon/plugins/keyboard/active false

at the top of /etc/X11/Xsession

If you need any help with RDP on Linux, let me know

P.S Tested on Ubuntu 9.10

gconftool-2 --set "/apps/metacity/general/button_layout" --type string "menu:minimize,maximize,close"

I searched and searched for the answer to the following question: «How do I change the font size in grub2?» It seems that no one on the entire Internet knew!

Well, I did a lot of digging into the grub2 documentation and the scripts bundled with Ubuntu and I finally have the answer!

1. Pick a font you want to use for your menu. I recommend a nice easy-to-read monospace font such as DejaVu Sans Mono (it's in the example below).
2. Convert the font to grub2's format using the grub-mkfont command, taking the extra step of setting the font size:

sudo grub-mkfont --output=/boot/grub/DejaVuSansMono.pf2 \
--size=24 /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu/DejaVuSansMono.ttf

3. GRUB_FONT=/boot/grub/DejaVuSansMono.pf2

GRUB_FONT=/boot/grub/DejaVuSansMono.pf2

4.

sudo update-grub

FYI: I believe the "--size=" indicates point size but I'm not entirely sure (the documentation doesn't say). If it is based on the point scale I don't believe it is taking dpi into account since I tried "--size=72" on a 120dpi display and letters were only about half an inch tall (72 points is precisely one inch).

 $MYSQLDUMP -u $MUSER -h $MHOST -p$MPASS $db | $GZIP -9 > $FILE
done

it deletes every 22 days old backups if you want to change life-time,
you can change the value of ctime in the followed line: for i in `find $BAK -ctime +22`; do rm $i; done

Please change paths according to your failsystem layout ;)
