Ubuntu to make Linux application installation idiot proof
,----[ Quote ]
| There's really nothing that hard about installing programs on Linux. Anyone
| who still uses shell commands like say, "apt-get install
| some-program-or-the-other," is doing so because they want to do it that way,
| not because they have to. Programs like Debian and Ubuntu's Synaptic,
| Fedora's yum or openSUSE's YaST makes installing programs little more than a
| matter of point and click. Still, some people have trouble, so Ubuntu is
| reviving a dusty, old project, AppCenter so that anyone can install Linux
| programs.

| Micro-blogging is all the rage these days. It is a webservice which allows

| audio clips and publish them, either to be viewed by anyone or by a
| restricted group which can be chosen by the user. Subscribers can read
| microblog posts online or request that updates be delivered in real time to
| their desktop as an instant message or sent to a mobile device as an SMS text

| Comic books, DVDs, old vinyl albums, Star Wars figurines -- collecting things
| is fun. What's not fun, though, is keeping track of it all. When you have
| large collection of anything from books to steampunk LEGOS, it's important to
| keep an inventory so you know what you've got, what you still need, and who
| borrowed something. Here are five open source collection management apps to
| help you organize your stuff.

Ubuntu 9.10 is getting an installation slideshow
,----[ Quote ]
| The Ubuntu-Doc mailing list just received word from Dylan McCall and the
| Ubiquity Slideshow Team that Ubiquity (the Ubuntu live CD's installer) is
| being retrofitted with a slideshow that will play during installation. This
| is something I've supported for a long time and good news for new users, but
| it likely won't help anyone else.

Best Ubuntu & Kubuntu Software to Add After Installation
,----[ Quote ]
| Canonical’s Ubuntu & Kubuntu distros are loaded with great software and
| utilities. There are, however, a bunch of great tools that are not included
| in their standard installations. Aside from Skype, all of these tools can
| easily be added by going to your download package manager (in Ubuntu,
| Synaptic) and search for the program names.
