Ubuntu Proxy setting (Ubuntu)

When running a Ubuntu system behind firewall and where users are required to use proxy server for http and ftp access,
Apt-get on Ubuntu might not be working after fresh installation.

Linux system normally uses the http_proxy environment variable for the proxy setting.

Setting the http_proxy variable:
bash$ export http_proxy=http://<host>:<port>

If required login for your proxy server, specified it this way:
bash$ export http_proxy=http://<username>:<password>@<host>:<port>

you can add the above to your .bashrc file once it is working. (test using ping or apt-update)

xPUD Linux Distro

Design From the Ground Up

xPUD is an unique Linux consists mainly of a web browser and a media player, with a simple user interface on top of it. It can turn your computer into a kiosk-like station by leverage some web technologies, that makes surfing and watching movies easy as a pie.
Thin and Rich at the Same Time

It's fast, averagely boots within 10 seconds (demo on YouTube), and the size is small, too. Weighs under 48MB, yet still compatible with most major Linux distributions like Ubuntu or Fedora. So xPUD can not only be a great platform to deliver Web Apps, but also runs on Netbooks or All-in-one PCs.
