@Richard – fixed, thanks.

@Max

In Ubuntu, look for a menu item labelled “Synaptic Package Manager’. I appreciate that’s not an immediately obvious name, but that’s where you get to the huge list of software that Ubuntu can just download and install for free.

Cheers

Thought you might like to know that the link to VirtualBox has the wrong URL . It’s pointing at a download of HiJackThis.

thanks. I have a pc with linux already on it. I have a basic knowledge in DOS but need to find how to load applications into linux, like skype. That is what I have not found on the web, a how to do step wise of the adding new applications and doing updates that are not already there, and getting wireless to work. There is lots on configuring but need the steps before that. thanks max.

The Australian “PC User” magazine has had a long-running series of tutorials on “UserOS”, which is their own customized version of Ubuntu, included on various of their cover discs. That could be another as-painless-as-possible path into Linux.

The best thing to do to try Linux is to get an Ubuntu CD – Dick Smith’s may have them for a few bucks, or Google is your friend – and start up a PC with the CD in the drive. Then, follow instructions on the screen. I would start my exploration by just letting it run from the CD and only install it onto the computer’s hard drive once I was happy with it. The screen instructions should make it clear how to do this. If you do decide to install Linux onto an existing computer, make sure you save a copy of your data from that computer onto a CD or on another machine.

I have a couple of Linux machines and I am very happy with their capabilities.
