Install Evernote Client Everpad On Ubuntu

Install Evernote Client Everpad On Ubuntu

The unofficial Evernote client on Linux Ubuntu systems. How to install Everpad 2.15.8 on Ubuntu 14.10.
It's no way as good as the windows or mac version but works fine as a quick go to if you dont like using the web interface or installing the client via wine.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nvbn-rm/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install everpad

MOTD banner on AWS EC2 Amazon Linux reverts to original after reboot

Permanently change the MOTD banner on AWS EC2 Amazon Linux

Changing the /etc/motd on  Amazon EC2 AMI only works until the image is rebooted. I only found this out after spending considerable time updating it with custom messages on numerous servers.

It is actually generated by a script at /usr/sbin/update-motd and the banner you see can be found at /etc/update-motd.d/30-banner. Turn off the update script with $ sudo update-motd --disable and then edit the banner at /etc/update-motd.
