Clean-up GRUB entries


grub
Whenever a kernel update is installed, your system adds an entry into GRUB. And while booting you can see a very long list, depending on how many updates you have installed. Here is a simple way to clean the GRUB.
  • Open Synaptics package manager.
  • Remove "linux-image-2.6.xxxx" and "linux-headers-2.6.xxxx" corresponding to old kernel images.
  • Update the grub using: "update-grub"

If you wish to set a background image for your GRUB, then goto "/etc/grub.d/" and open the theme file(debian_theme) and set "use_bg=false" to "true". Change the WALLPAPER, to point to the desired image(Better use .png file).

To apply the changes to the grub: "update-grub"

Java: Use BigInteger in for-loop

In my previous post , I mentioned a way to handle large integers by using BigInteger. Now I'm going to provide a very important usage of it. We often use for-loop. So here is the way to use it: Ordinary integers: for(int i = 1; i <= n; i++) {  //Task to do } BigInteger: for (BigInteger bi = BigInteger.valueOf(1);                 bi.compareTo(n) <= 0;                 bi = bi.add(BigInteger.ONE)) { //Task to do } here n is a BigInteger variable.
