Thunderbird mail tray Icon

I found moztraybiff extension, which can installed into Thunderbird.

Just download the xpi file and in Thunderbird goto Tools->Add ons-> click on install button and give the path to downloaded xpi file.

I have installed this on my machine with Thunderbird 2.0 on Debian Etch. Everything seems to be working fine.

Using X server from windows using XDMCP

After goggling I got following free softwares which can be used to connect to X server from windows:

1. xming
2. x-win32 .

I have not yet tried this on my machine. Will try later.

ssh over http proxy

For quite some time I've been searching how I could access a ssh/svn through http proxy. I finally found answer for this on lifehacker blogs.

Its pretty simple:
1. Install corkscrew
2. Add this lines to ~/.ssh/config
Host *
ProxyCommand corkscrew http-proxy.example.com 8080 %h %p
# change http-proxy.example.com and 8080 to your proxy server and port
