Sounds neat, I just installed Ubuntu on my PC last night. It seriously rocks.

I am trying it now- Good stuff.

How can I install anything if sudo's acting up?

 


djwings@ubuntu:~$ cd./Desktop
djwings@ubuntu:~/Desktop$ sudo dpkg./skype
sudo: must be setuid root
djwings@ubuntu:~/Desktop$

 


Help me!

It includes Skype
And I dont think your syntax was right ^

No, the problem, it turned out, was that I'd typed "sudo chown -R djwings /" before, and as a result, I didn't even need to USE Sudo, since I had access to everything, and hence didn't need Sudo.
EDIT: Sudo bug aside, ZOMG Automatix ROCKS! Dang... AndI probably never would have found it myself. Thaks, Roo!
Now, what to do with my new FireFox plugins... (PS: Kubuntu doesn't even come with FireFox. Automatix does. W00t!) And Audacity, too... Now, all that's missing are virtual PC/Mac emulators.

Try Bochs or Wine.

Wine??? WHAT THE... It makes sense (WINE = WINdows Emulator), I just didn't realize it. Wow... Dang!
EDIT: With a reinstalled copy of FireFox, my browsing is faster than ever (AND I've got Opera), and I'm back on Skype (^^^^).
