I just migrated my new workstation from Lenny to Squeeze (the workstation is
all relatively new hardware, so Lenny was just a bit too old to have correct
drivers for everything). Most things are working fine, but I have a couple
of minor questions.

1. In Nautilus, I can't figure out how to make the navigation bar the
default when looking at folders (ie, the window in which one can type a
location). I can make any particular window give me a nav bar by hitting
Ctrl-L, but I would like that to be the default.

2. On Lenny, there was a menu app which, amongst other things, did CPU
speed-testing. I believe it also showed the properties of the various
hardware (processor, memory, hard drive, etc). Is that still available? I
can't find it on the menus (alas, I can't remember the name; I only had
Lenny for a few days).

Thanks in advance for any advice,
-PT

It's called hardinfo and you can check whether it's still there by
trying to run it from a terminal. If it's been discontinued, you can
always use the CLI standards: lshw, lspci, lsusb, but there are other
similar tools you can find in your repositories (just search for
related keywords in synaptic).

It's there.

But worth thinking about is the System Monitor app. It can put 6 customized
graphs in your panel. Then some nice extended info and System Monitor
itself is a right click from there.

Then there is cpufrequtils, which has a nice panel app. I used it to extend
my battery life by around 10% without any drop in performance that I have
noticed.

If you open the gnome configuration manager (gconf-editor), go to "apps
-> nautilus -> preferences", and check the box next to
always_use_location_entry, it might work. In my 90-seconds of testing,
it seemed to work.

Hope it helps

Thanks, everyone -- I've successfully resolved both these questions!
