Following the tweak guides i posted for windows, I was looking for a very good tweak guide for the already tweaked Ubuntu.

Give it a try

Every day, lots of people are slowly migrating away from Windows to Linux.  Vista just made the job simpler. This screenshot filled tutorial   shows how easy it is to migrate to the latest Ubuntu 6.10 Edgy Eft.  The advantages are clear: you get a secure system without DRM restrictions that runs also on older hardware, and the best thing is: all software comes free of charge.  Give it a try.

Internet Explorer and a few other browsers cache GET requests for faster browsing.  Good for normal pages. Bad for AJAX. So, for repeated AJAX requests, you will get a cached data instead of the actual response from the server-side.  (Firefox, the prince of browsers does not seem to have this problem).

Two Options come up for this problem.

1) Use POST method for AJAX requests or

2) Just append some dummy parameter which has a different value for different GET requests. Just gives the browser an impression that its a fresh request.

So, Instead of this

var url = ‘getProducts.jsp?productId=123′

use this:

var url = ‘getProducts.jsp?productId=123′  + “&dummy=” + new Date().getTime();
