General Notes


  1. This is an Unofficial Ubuntu 5.10 (Breezy Badger) Starter Guide. It is not associated with Ubuntu and Canonical Ltd.
  2. Guide is tested on a full installation of the Ubuntu 5.10 x86 Install CD (Breezy Badger)
  3. If you see a bluish box, this means you have to execute the commands in Terminal mode (Applications -> System Tools -> Terminal) or use the content of that box as mentioned in some other instructions.
  4. To reduce typo mistakes, copy and paste the commands into Terminal mode (right click on the commands -> "Copy" or "Paste". You can also use Ctrl+C to copy and Shift+Insert to paste it)
  5. "sudo" means superuser do. "sudo" will prompt for "Password:". Please specify user password
  6. If you want more information about any command, simply look at the manual page for it using the "man" command. For example, "man sudo" will display the manual page for the "sudo" command.
  7. If you are tired of typing "apt-get" all the time, Read #How to apt-get the easy way (Synaptic)
  8. "apt-get" and "wget" requires Internet connection to install/update/download programs
  9. To download file, right click on the link -> Select "Save Link As..." -> Make sure file name and extension are correct
  10. If you wish to help translating Ubuntu to your native language or to help Ubuntu otherwise wisit https://launchpad.net/
  11. If you have spotted any bug or mistake please let us know
  12. May the "humanity to others" spirit be with you always...


If you are using Kubuntu you need to intall Gedit 
wget http://easylinux.info/uploads/gedit_2.13.1-0ubuntu1_i386.deb
sudo dpkg -i gedit_2.13.1-0ubuntu1_i386.deb
Or replace 'gedit' with 'kwrite', for example, instead of writing 
 sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
Write 
 sudo kwrite /etc/apt/sources.list
If you are using 64-bit processor replace "i386" with "amd64"
