If you are using files sharing websites (like rapidshare), you know that your limited with certain file size for uploading (normally 200 mb). Now, if you get a large file say 700mb and you want to share it with your friend, you will need to split it to smaller files. In Windows you have a lot of programs that capable to do that but in Linux there is always command line tool for that :). Do not worry, I know you hate command line, therefore I put this tutorial for you.

There is a very good program to do that, it is called PeaZip. I will use it to split 37.5 mb zip file to small files each 11 mb. So let us start:

One of the things I like about KDE is the options. It is powerful and rich. In this post, I will show you how to customize your windows buttons. Normally you get the defaults windows decoration something like this:

There are five buttons there without any real benefit to me at least. I need only two of them the minimize one and close button. For maximize the window I use double click. The method (which I will tell you) is applicable to all KDE distributions (i.e. kubuntu, debian, opensuse, mandriva, and so on).
