Addendum to my last item...
The following has just hit the front page of Digg.com:
http://digg.com/linux_unix/Howto%3A_Install_Ubuntu_software
Points to:
http://www.beginningubuntu.com/software_1.html
I think you will find it useful because it's visual and detailed. It also
explains things in the conext of Windows, which you may be more familiar
with and accustomed to.
Hope it helps,
Roy
