Guide For Ubuntu 10.04 - Verilog - May 25, 2010
Many people get scared by the name name Linux. and say its so complex....
NOPES
...........................
GUIDE FOR UBUNTU 10.04
1>So here is a guide hw to make it user friendy and easy to use..
Download OR Order free Cd from Ubuntu 10.04 website
Code
http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/downloadCaution:I AM NOT RECOMENDING TO USE THIS AS ITS NOT SO FASTER,Reliable and has reduced performance than fresh copy.
ITS NOT THAT U R GOING TO MESS AROUND WITH INSTALL INSIDE WINDOWS
Just try it for once
3>After installation u will get to the first and very workspace of ubuntu.
FOR appearances u will go to Properties and add extra effects(includes wobble effect and zoom effect)
For compiz manager go to terminal and type
Code
sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager compiz-fusion-plugins-extra compiz-fusion-plugins-main compiz-plugins emeraldJUST FOR THE SAKE OF BASIC TUTORIAL I AM NOT EXplaining COMPIZ configuration in this edition..
4>Now for the software part-->
Go to applications>ubuntu Software Center
there u can add vlc-Movies and multimedia player),
(Note that the ibuilt media player is also cool)
Cheese->for webcam(really cool piece)
Adobe pdf 9,Adobe flash player,
Avant Navigator bar(best dock bar ever present)
Gnomeip messenger(similar to windows) but much better as it also displays ip address of host
nfo viewer-to view .nfo files
Chat client is EMPATHy -BEST client as it supports each and every chat cliet ever made....
U can also use PIDGIN and gtalk is also there
(plz note CHAT client Empathy can work for facebook,gtalk everything..)
U CAN ALSO GET INSTALLER FOR VARIOUS SOFTARES(.deb extension)
Like
PICASA-->
Code
http://picasa.google.com/linux/thanks-deb.htmlMillions of application are there u can Install all u want
Rhythembox (inbult and u will love this music player)...
5>What abt antivirus????There is no need at all as ubuntu has 1-2 viruses made that too are rare and .exe file dont work
(NOTE-exept wine(BEST),crossover and
Cedega, which is more for games
play on linux, which is also for games
crossover which you need to pay for)
But if u want u can get Avast and bitdefender,(kaspersky in beta stages(Source:friend)
6>Games--Thousands of game available at the software center...but some of the best are
Quake3 (open arena),assault cube.
These are present at software center..there are many more but i tried 3 games only..
7>After reading this much u must hav thought what abt .exe file softwares???
So for that u will use a software WINE(will tell u more abt it in Guide 3)
But for basic u can install it by goin in terminal and writing-->
Code
sudo get-apt install wine1.2THANK ME IF U LIKE AND ALsO PRESS THE LITTLE Thank BUTTON ON THE LEFT
SEE YAA

Thanks
But next time use colors or text formatting....
It gets boring to read in plain text.
Cheers :D

Find and replace every single instance of "u" with "you" and your guide will be 94 times better.
Have a good day :)

Half decent guide, could do with a bit of a tidy up and formatting. Some useful info in there though. 👍
