Any help about commands ,please ask

 

Hello,
i recently installed Ubuntu on my aspire one, which commands i have to use to install applications for example

From the CLI you can use "apt-get" and from the GUI you can use synaptic.

Cheers.

 

Re: Howto : Basic Linux commands updated

Well first of all I would like to thank those, which assisted me.
I have an Aspire One 110-1722, which came with http://www.linpus.com/
Operating system restore disk did not work much like their site.

I latter went to http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ and on my XP computer chose
Linux mint http://linuxmint.com/ though I really loved it Linux mint was not able to get me on WIFI perhaps because the following was not supported

03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01)
04:00.0 System peripheral: JMicron Technologies, Inc. SD/MMC Host Controller

But the Ethernet was.

I latter went back to http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/
And chose http://fedoraproject.org/


after this fedora install I recomend for utility such as playing web content and various media files http://dnmouse.org/autoten.html
the programs listed as plugins and such well lets just say for my self I don't need a windows computer




Honestly if I had a choice between .rpm or .deb I’m going for the .deb so if linux mint finds a way to get the above mentioned hardware to work I’ll be back to them but Fedora has been thus far better than I had heard tell I was tempted to try http://www.debian.org/
But going on the words (though somewhat condescending) while in a forum in regards to Mint verses Fedora in regards to WIFI connectivity I opted for less experimentation. So now I am online and so far doing fine.
if you have your heart set on limpus these downloads work
http://ftp.twaren.net/Linux/Linpus/
For fellow new bees to linux like myself this site was helpful in directing me around http://www.linuxquestions.org/

As the one bellow can be of great benefit for self help through reading:

How to remove a folder using command?

Hi,
Which commands i have to use if i instelled Linuxmint on my aspireone ?

 

LinuxMint is based on Ubuntu so you will have to use same commands as ubuntu apt-get

 

Yes; how do you get it? It is obscured by a "ZMANDA" ad, and has no live pdf link etc.

 

What you mean?

 

I clicked on the unixmen link in the post and was transported to what I assume was the linked page for "Basic Linux Commands for beginners", and could only find a page there with what I described.
