Wikis aren't just great tools for sharing information and collaborating on projects. They also make excellent personal information managers. With a personal wiki, all of your to-do lists, notes, and appointments are at your fingertips in form that's easy to use and maintain. The problem with most wikis, such as MediaWiki (the engine that powers Wikipedia) is that they take a lot of effort to set up and maintain. You have to deal with not only the wiki software itself but also the Web server and database that underlie the wiki. All of that is overkill for anyone who wants a wiki for strictly personal use. But there are several applications available to someone who wants to get a wiki working quickly as a desktop tool. They don't require much, if any, configuration.

Live CDs are often used for trying out new software, demos, and other situations where you cannot install the operating system on some random computer's physical hard drives. But sometimes you need or want to install some new software while using your Live CD and not have to reinstall that software every time you reboot the Live CD. A really great feature of the Ubuntu Live CD - persistence, allows you to do just that. You can save your settings from your Live CD environment to some device external to the CD like a USB Stick (or any device the CD can see attached to the computer). Once you have your settings saved to your USB Stick you can then do things like take it with you and boot into your own custom live environment anywhere anytime.
