Ubuntu / GRUB2 bootloader on Asus N90s
The system won’t boot with the normal default configuration that GRUB assigns. The APIC or something related causes the system to go to a blank screen and stay there. Manually change these settings at boot time, or permanently change them in /etc/default/grub
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=”nolapic nohz=off”

How to Find Large Files in Ubuntu Linux
If you want to find files above a certain size, or find files between certain sizes, then you may use the +size x and -size x switches to the find command.
For example:
find /etc -size +100k -size -150k
This command will find all files inside the /etc directory that are between 100k and 150k in size.

Set time at command line in Linux
This works for all Linux flavors as far as I know:
The date command is used to set the system clock using the switch -s and the format MMDDhhmmYYYY (where MM=month, DD=day, hh=24-hour hour, mm=minute, YYYY=year)
The following example sets the date to January 5th 2007, 1:15 PM:
# date -s 010513152007
