I am always looking for a new way of customizing my setup and in Linux it is a similar search. I came across 2 great apps and though not related, i will put them in the same email.
1. Animated Lilo Yes newer versions of Lilo boot graphical but someone has actually put cool animations there. After a little tweaking i got it running on Mandrake, this is real eye candy stuff. I did have to remove the stock Lilo and move back a version which was even modified a bit. The result is amazing , you can see the screen i am using and there are more on that site.

2. Quickswitch I have been using a laptop as my primary machine for many years now and one of the main problems i have faced is different configurations based on where i was and since i also travel a lot that compounded the problem. I used netswitcher (http://www.netswitcher.com) in windows and i wonder how can people live without that.
This software quickswitch (http://www.muthanna.com/quickswitch) is amazing at the job. I can have separate profiles for my office, home and travel etc. It changes tons of stuff depending on the profile, diff network settings, Xconfig file, hosts files etc etc. Either it can be manually executed to change on the fyl or it also works by accepting the profile name through a kernel parameter in Lilo so i can choose what setting i want to boot with. Great stuff.
