Copy/paste in gnome-terminal

1. Change the default keyboard shortcuts to ctrl+c and ctrl+v. They are more common shortcuts on most OS.
2. Highlighting texts and Middle mouse button clicking will do copy/paste. These are similar to the operation in PuTTY where right mouse button click is used.

Sound for non-root users on Debian

After a fresh installation everything seems work fine on my Debian. But for a non-root user, the volume control widget on the gnome desktop shows a little red cross, and there is no sound. It’s good if you hate playing music while you are working. However, in case you want it, there is a simple way. By default there is a group named ‘audio’ on Debian, the users in this group automatically get sound:) Root is of course one of them. If you also want sound, add yourself to that group by ‘adduser yourname audio’ then restart.
