If you use the top command in Linux you are going to LOVE htop….
Htop is an ncursed-based process viewer similar to top, but it allows to scroll the list vertically and horizontally to see all processes and their full command lines. Tasks related to proccesses (killing, renicing) can be done without entering their PIDs.
To Install Htop on Ubuntu Linux Just open terminal and type:
sudo apt-get install htop

After using Google DNS for few days, And after running NameBench twice I found that:
Google DNS is faster then Most if not All other DNS Servers.
Check out the results:
Bottom Line: 9% Faster than UltraDNS
BIG BUT: Google DNS resolves few sites with wrong IP’s.
Users reporting that few sites are not loading using Google DNS, when using nslookup to find out why, Google shows the wrong IP address for the site.
Nice Job Google, but there’s way to go….

Google Continues Eating the Internet With Google Public DNS It feels like Google is slowly becoming the internet. First, with their twice-as-fast HTTP replacement, SPDY, and now with Google Public DNS, which promises faster DNS lookups and tons of data and cash for Google. Google DNS IP addresses? 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4

CoolGeex Verdict :
I never liked using the ISP’s DNS Server, slow and crashing all the time.
I’m using OpenDNS for a while now, I can also block content using them.
After trying Google DNS Server for 30 Minutes it does look faster, I’ll keep you updated on that.
