Pushparaj:

I suggest you bookmark these pages:
http://www.ubuntuforums.org/
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UserDocumentation
http://ubuntuguide.org/
http://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/

Your best bet for finding detailed instructions about installing and 
updating packages are the second and third sources; the other two sites 
are more useful for solving specific problems.

And, of course, never forget that google is your friend...
