1)Linux Terminals are now far more user-friendly with Programmable Bash Completion.
In your Default Ubuntu ,Debian Distros ,you can use below file for ~/.bashrc( /home/username/.bashrc)
# ~/.bashrc: executed by bash(1) for non-login shells.
# see /usr/share/doc/bash/examples/startup-files (in the package bash-doc)
# for examples
# If not running interactively, don't do anything
[ -z "$PS1" ] && return
# don't put duplicate lines in the history. See bash(1) for more options
# don't overwrite GNU Midnight Commander's setting of `ignorespace'.
export HISTCONTROL=$HISTCONTROL${HISTCONTROL+,}ignoredups
# ... or force ignoredups and ignorespace
export HISTCONTROL=ignoreboth
# append to the history file, don't overwrite it
shopt -s histappend
# for setting history length see HISTSIZE and HISTFILESIZE in bash(1)
# check the window size after each command and, if necessary,
# update the values of LINES and COLUMNS.
shopt -s checkwinsize
# make less more friendly for non-text input files, see lesspipe(1)
[ -x /usr/bin/lesspipe ] && eval "$(SHELL=/bin/sh lesspipe)"
# set variable identifying the chroot you work in (used in the prompt below)
if [ -z "$debian_chroot" ] && [ -r /etc/debian_chroot ]; then
debian_chroot=$(cat /etc/debian_chroot)

case "$TERM" in

# off by default to not distract the user: the focus in a terminal window
# should be on the output of commands, not on the prompt

# (ISO/IEC-6429). (Lack of such support is extremely rare, and such
# a case would tend to support setf rather than setaf.)

2)For VOIP application(gtalk) ,I use Empathy VOIP Client.It works with pulse audio as well.
3)For Reporting Your System's overall Information ,you can use Below Script and Upload the "RESULTS.txt" File for others to read.
SourceForge.net: Boot Info Script
Download the script ,open a terminal and do a "chmod +x boot_info_script27.sh" and then try as root(su) or as sudo :
sudo ./ boot_info_script27.sh4)Press "F5" on a Blank Desktop Screen(Gnome,kde ,xfce etc) to have the X(Display) Refresh.also ,the command "xrefresh -white" can redraw the Display again.
5) Use UFW and GUFW(GUI) for firewall management in Ubuntu.
