How to install anything in Ubuntu guide
Web site Cutler Software posts a detailed guide to installing any Linux app from the perspective of a new-to-Linux Windows user.
The guide starts with the basics of Synaptic (sort of the Add/Remove software tool for Linux), delves into installing apps from the command line, then finishes with steps necessary to manually install a package. When I installed Ubuntu in a triple-boot setup with Vista and XP, this straight-forward guide would have come in so handy. If you've made the move to Ubuntu - or you're considering making that leap - this guide is a must-bookmark.
