Link Enhancer
Using this script, outbound links will open in a new window automatically. No need to add anything to the link. The script will also apply a different style to the outbound link to make visitors aware it is an outbound link.

INTRODUCING OPENSHOT

"Here�s a howto for Debian and Mandriva which explains how to make your desktop look nice if you�re using a mix of KDE and GTK+. Because Ubuntu is based on Debian, this howto might also apply to Ubuntu, but I have not verified this."
