Utils for Linux and Windows

Search Everything:
This is a really fast and compact file search utility for windows. It beats Google desktop hollow if all you need is to search file/directory names. Already its saved me from re-downloading stuff, finding work that I’d stored away (safely!!) somewhere and just plain discover that I’ve got more goodies on my system than I’d thought!!
Having a huge HDD (by today’s standards) 1 GB does help to keep useful stuff ready for “Search Everything”.
Some nifty features to add would have been
1) Search inside compressed files and maybe
2) Catalog generation for offline media like CDs/DVDs.

Bharat has written a nice blog post on it called "Search Everything – A wonderful utility to reduce file searches".

Recently reinstalled Windows/Ubuntu and had to reinstall all the stuff.

I was using the old blog editor in blogger and managed to lose nearly 75% of a blog.
No undo function to revert to previous version of my blog. Searched for a work-around in blogger.
Nearly 3 hours of hard-work gone down the drain.
Found these GUI utilities for Ubuntu and Windows to hold ALL copy-paste stuff from the clipboard.

1) Glipper the multiple copies clipboard manager on Ubuntu Gnome Desktop
#a) Installs Glipper the multiple copies clipboard manager into Ubuntu Gnome Desktop
apt-get install glipper
#b) Right click on the "Windows Quicklaunch Bar" and Add to Panel->Clipboard manager
#c) Click on any of the previous copies to get the copy-paste you need.

2) Nautilus elementary -> Elegant Gnome. Making the desktop look neat.
     http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Elegant+Gnome+Pack?content=127826
     (Found it from somewhere inside http://lifehacker.com/tag/linux/!!)

3) Also Clipboard Manager for Windows for extending the basic Windows clipboard.
      http://space.dl.sourceforge.net/project/clipman/Clipman/v1.0/ClipMan_Setup.msi
      Note: May require .net framework 2.0.50727 to run if it's not already installed.
      Easily downloadable  from this site
