Personally I prefer <a class="user" href="http://klik.atekon.de/">http://klik.atekon.de/</a> - download and run software WITHOUT installation. Package managers are by no means the only way to get software. Even better is to avoid installation at all, and have everything an application needs within one folder (AppDir bundle, like Apple) or even one file (klik cmg file).
Alright, install software on any OS where you don't know the name of the program.If you're going to criticize linux, at least do it on things that don't apply to every other OS out there.
yes, it's nice to have a book. but really installing, ubuntu is easy. i played with suse from 7.3 to 8.1 thought it was pretty slick and was worried about not having yast if i switched. turns out i like gnome. go fig. and synaptic is pretty tight. ubuntuforums.org is great, haven't checked out the wiki... but if you really want a linux book. get "running linux" from o'reilly <a class="user" href="http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/runux3/">http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/runux3/</a>
Dont digg this guy down, he brings up a valid point.Klik is great for certain software. Especially beta- since it doesnt install, you can run your stable version of amarok, and the beta on the same system, without either messing each other up.Quite handy if you ask me.
Days ago people digg an article that says how EASY it is to install Ubuntu and now they're all digging a site that show the tons of info that you need to install the program.You Linux people can't ever make up your mind now can you? No intention for a flame, but tell me; why the heck do you need a site that tell you how to install Ubuntu when it's supposed to be that easy (according to an older Digg)????
And please explain to me the title; what the heck is "Ubuntu software"???Ububtu is a Linux distribution, so how you can you install "Ubuntu software" doh?!
Did you read the article? This is not a tutorial for installing Ubuntu. It provides some tips and general information on how to ADD software to your Ubuntu system in various ways...
