HELP!!!!!

[Bill vance]

Howdy folks;

Well, what with the library being closed on the 23rd, and the email
from all the lists I'm subbed
to pileing up without me dealling with it, I gave up, and installed
10.04.  I guess that's Lucid
Lunatic or some such.  Who comes up with all these silly assed names anyway?

So anyhow, I installed Ubuntu to get a working pulseaudio, only it don't work.

I also tried to get the kde files, too, but that isn't starting up either.

Anyone know what the essential files are for these?

TIA

Bill
