Dear Regala,
I am BRAND new to linux. However, I am a user of over 35 years. I have now decided to convert an old ’486 box from win to Ubuntu 10.10 and it is a marvelous experience. Moreover, I have found the community to be helpful to those of us who are new. When I wanted to install a new HP printer/scanner I found that there is a site associated with HP and people willing to help. This makes me hopeful for the future of linux in general.I trust that when you need help in this or other aspects of your life your pride will not stop you asking. As a teacher for many years I find that I learn as much from students as I have ever taught them.

regards
Larry

@Regala

I’m not trying to be confrontaional, but I think your comment was very snobby, elitist and rude.

It’s extremely useful to have tutorials as specific as possible. Without tutorials like this many beginners would never become experts. These tutorials are perfect and extremely helpful, and most of us would be lost without them

Can’t you do all this with one click of an AptURL?

I can’t find enough educational software for young children on the universe/multiverse repositories. Are they the only available repositories, or are there others available? Thanks!

Are there .sh scrips on “The Net” that can automatically enable repositories.
I might be useful for me and other people who has to install and configure Ubuntu a lot. Can someone give me some information about this?

Hello, I hope I’ll pass censorship this time

M. Moderator, you seem to lack understanding of the very core of your “job”: keeping the forums READABLE, trying to avoir cluttering of the forums with everlasting stuff (such as, while being a sincere proof of righteousness from the author, the entry above).
Repeating the very same entries just by doing sed -e ‘s/gutsy/hardy/g’ won’t deem it useful; on the contrary, it is plagiat. And keeping around 153 entries explaining the same thing is not what community had learned to do for 20 years. You do not seem to be aware of this kind of obvious things. It is a fact, Newbies can’t be of any help to anybody, and trying to let’em believe the contrary is a mistake.

As a sidenote, make sure the ‘installable from CD-ROM’ box isn’t ticked…otherwise the system gives you an error as it can’t find the Live CD.
