The Mysterious SSH Proxy (and the people who love them.)
Nothing raises eyebrows more than personal security. Setup your own ssh Tunnel and be the curiosity on the block...
Recently the company I work for has decided that I will be traveling. They provide me with a wonderful laptop. (I have named Lappy386 in honor of Strong Bad.) They also provide me with a wonderful VPN connection, that helps protect all of our company data. (A very important thing.) But I don't...

This is a short tutorial, as it is fairly straight forward.
The problem:
I have a generic video card, so I am not using either the Nvidia or ATI drivers and my 8 year old monitor is dying (slowly getting dimmer). So I needed a way to adjust the "gamma" output of xwindows (specifically gnome) to make things brighter.
The Solution:
