alias is probably the best option in order to save key strokes.
to make an alias
suppose I want to open htdocs folder which is in /Application/MAMP/htdocs/ , but for that i have to type few lines in terminal. But by making an alias it can be done with only one small word. To do so, just type this line in the terminal.
alias ht='open /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/'
to see the alias
just type
alias
to remove all aliases
unalias -a
to remove a specific one
unalias [name of the alias]

Even if I’m trying to update with update manager or apt, synaptic is not updating. I faced this weired problem in ubuntu 10.04.
There is a very simple solution to get rid out of this problem.
Just execute this command in your terminal.
sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
remove the line which contains CD/DVD ROM and the next line (if any, without starting with #)
update again with
sudo apt-get update
If you are no too unlucky you are already done with updating. enjoy
