[UbuntuDallas] newbie

[Brandon Perry]

Hi, Sherry.

I am sorry to hear you are having issues. Sadly, you aren't going to get
iTunes running in Ubuntu (as far as I know). You can, however, install a
pretty rocking media player called Banshee. It has support for most iPods,
just not some of the newer generation ones.

This website ( http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/itunes ) seems to have some
useful information, and also recommends Banshee.

Your printer isn't as easy a problem to solve :-). Here a tutorial (
http://benaiah41.wordpress.com/2007/07/23/installing-a-canon-pixma-mp460-on-ubuntu-feisty/)
on getting it work (the tutorial is for an older version of Ubuntu,
but
works just as well).

If you have anymore questions, feel free to search the Ubuntu forums (
http://www.ubuntuforums.org ) for any questions, or even become a member! I
am sure any questions you have can be answered much more thoroughly than on
this list. There aren't many of us here :-).
