Some ubuntu help.

[Sammy]

Hey guys, i just installed ubuntu linux on my pc i decided to put together, the only problem is im am not very good at all with it, i was wondering if someone could help me set it up using teamviewer? i can seem to get wine working, and was wondering if you could install some of the basic programs and stuff for me, I dont really have any money to offer, but ill try to compensate you somehow. Thanks!

most programs that you want can be installed from the terminal

this command will search for the program

Code: [Select]

apt-cache search [package_name]

this command will install a program

Code: [Select]

sudo apt-get install [package_name]

say you want to install VLC you would use the command

Code: [Select]

sudo apt-get install vlc

the "sudo" part tells the terminal that you want to run a command as root (the linux administrator)
the "apt-get" is the program that handle your packages
"install" is the option you want to perform
"vlc" is the package that you want to install

and if you do not like the terminal you can always get new programs from the Ubuntu Software Center and install things through the GUI
