Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll.
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.
-William Ernest Henley

If you are using Linux on multiple monitors you are surely going to miss Utramon, but don’t worry. Gnome has the option of Ultramon in built so no extra application needed.
You can get your task-bar on multiple monitors using the following instructions
Instructions:
1.) Right click on anywhere on the launch-bar, click “New Panel”
2.) Drag that to any monitor.
3.) Right click on that panel, and click “Add to Panel”
4.) Select “Window List” under Desktop and Windows
5.) Click Add.
6.) Click Close, and you’re done.
No more having windows from all monitors listed on the primary monitor itself

Installing LAMP (Linux – Apache – MySQL – PHP) on Ubuntu is pretty straight forward.
1st we install Apache.
Go to your Terminal and type in sudo apt-get install apache2
2nd step
sudo apt-get install php5 libapache2-mod-php5
3rd step
sudo apt-get install mysql-server
4th step
Just make sure Apache is running
In your terminal enter
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
And if you are stuck, google is always available

If you are trying to connect all the apps and bash on your Ubuntu setup to use a common proxy, the easiest way to achieve this is via Network Proxy Preferences. Go to System -> Preferences -> Network Proxy and select the Proxy Configuration and the Ignored Hosts as per your preference. Once done, select Apply System-Wide and you are done. Each and every application including the bash will now use this proxy that you have entered.

To install deb packages, download the deb package to a local folder (possibly /tmp if you do not require the installation file later) and run the following command
sudo dpkg -i package.deb
This should take care of the installation
