Now as we are done with installing Linux on your machine.we need to get started and do some of the work for which we have installed Linux. Now there are some todos after installing Linux,mostly adding software sources aka repository. This is helpful because from that we can then add software in our machine.

Now this article is for ubuntu software installation. But before begining let me clear some concepts for you.

In this session we will mainly discuss problems being faced by newbies.

Thats the main reason why we are here.right.ok.

So writing the articles again...lost it in a serious hard disk disaster.Plz listen to me take backups.Ok..So i guess you must have read my previous Linux is easy,etc,etc. Now moving on i am writing some new articles which will help some specific people. But first let me tell you why i am writing this artciles and what are my intentions. many people say that i am Linux advocate,some say i am a linux geek. I also dont know who i am, but i do know my job. My only job is to silently migrate people to linux.thats my first priority and my only priority.

Who says you have to use Gnome only. I am a regular KDE user,and believe me KDE is awesome. Its a very good experience. And you know what when i ma writing this article,i am wondering which one should go first and how many softwares i should put.

Believe me,i am thinking hard. But considering all the factors,the top position goes to following apps.

The process of getting an email from one person to another over a network or the Internet involves many systems working together. Each of these systems must be correctly configured for the process to work. The sender uses a Mail User Agent (MUA), or email client, to send the message through one or more Mail Transfer Agents (MTA), the last of which will hand it off to a Mail Delivery Agent (MDA) for delivery to the recipient's mailbox, from which it will be retrieved by the recipient's email client, usually via a POP3 or IMAP server.

Scripting langauge is utmost necessary when any web development is considered. The php script can be embedded into html,so it is used extensively.

DNS server is mainly responsible for easy use of internet. Mainly it avoids us remembering the ip address of machines by giving them names. So whenever we give a address in the browser it goes to the DNS server and it checks for the ip address and then routes packets to that ip address.

NFS(Network File System) is commonly used to share directories or files between two computers in a network. NFS was mainly developed by SUN Microsystems,but is commonly used in Linux and Ubuntu also.

How do you copy-paste some text on any system ?

Using ctrl+c and ctrl+v is most common way to do it. Linux provides an easier way to do the same.

Copy text :

Just highlight the text with mouse.This text gets stored in x buffer.

Paste text :

move your cursor at the point where you want to paste the text and press mouse3 button ( mouse wheel ).

This is not possible in windows.

What is openssh?

In layman terms openssh is a remote control to systems in network. Using openssh,where you have username and password of that system you can connect to that machine and work there.

I was wondering in which category does this article. I always used Sabayon linux standard edition,which used more than 15gb of disk space. But believe me it had all the packages everyone requires. Now they have split the desktop environment. Some people liked it,but i preferred the older sabayon. I have used since 3.4f,3.5,3.5.1,4.0,4.1. Thats it.

Now many people who dont know sabayon must be wondering,what's going on.ok!

What is Sabayon Linux?

Many of my friends have shifted to linux for the desktop effects it provides. Believe me many. So i feel now its important to stress a little more on look and feel part of Ubuntu.

Ubuntu basically comes with a brown-orange kinda theme. Many people dont like it. They want to download some more themes,a good loaction for that is http://www.gnome-look.org Now before moving on to desktop effects,if you have any graphics card like Nvidia or Ati Raedon then you need to install it. It can be very easity done from System--->Administration--->Hardware drivers. It download's drivers drom net and installs it,everything automatically.

Well my friends,believe me i know you are trying to connect to the internet,some may have succedded while some may fail,now this article is for those who have don't know much about linux networking. You may have succedded but there can be problems. So,lets begin.

Well my friends,many people told me that they want to try many distro's,before they settle. I told them thats what i did. Now i had the problem that i was bound to learn each distro that i try. I guess that could be simply avoided if i had more knowledge of Linux basics than distro specific.

And ofcourse i dont want others to suffer. So just a helping hand making the world of Linux easy for you.

I am back. For some reasons i was not online and was too bored to write articles,ya. It was a mess. But now what matters is i am back(up and running). Now when i completed this 4 articles i was wondering what i should write what will be the most useful thing for linux newbies. Just when i was thinking that my file browser crashed because of some of my stupidity. And so i began to restore it back via terminal(command line,shell),and there you go,i almost forgot the essence of Linux the command Line.
