How to Play .ram Files in Ubuntu

Files having the .ram extension actually don't give any meaning to the word "Play" as they are realplayer meta files only, referring to the actual audio files. To play .ram files you should be connected to the Internet as they are streamed and played.

In Ubuntu, you can get a .ram file to play by following the steps below.

1. Install Realplayer and the plugin for Mozilla Firefox. (The way to install is well described in Ubuntu - Hardy user guide)

2. Grab the URL inside the .ram file.

3. Create a .html page including a single line containing the URL. (ex. <a href="http://www.blogger.com/URL">My file</a>).

4. Open the html page and just click on the link - My file.

Installing Fonts in Ubuntu 8.04 - Hardy Heron

The way of installing fonts is bit different (must say it is pretty simple too) in Ubuntu 8.04.

You just have to create a .fonts folder (if it does not exist) in your home folder and copy the TTF to that folder.

Well. Thats it :)
