Dapper Help

The version of Ubuntu I am running is known as Dapper Drake, which as of right now is the latest version. Rather then using versions numbers, like normal programs, these linux kids use names so you have to know what you're looking for. Cute huh? Not really, but here's what few commands in the terminal I've figured out so far:

sudo
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install

"sudo" is the main command for adding or removing programs, and each time should require your main password to be entered again. It wont show up, just type it in and press enter. After following the instructions for installing automatix through terminal I have selected quite a few programs and add ons to install, and automatix does it all for me easier then even the built-in Synaptic Device Manager does. Here is a screenshot of it running right now:

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Once it is finished I will try out some of the apps and plugins I installed and let you all know how it goes.
