New to Ubuntu

[Owen Townend]

Hey,

If you have a GUI installation then use the Synaptic Package Manager
(System->Administration in the menu)
If you are using a console then 'aptitude' is your friend. It is a
screen based front end for the debian package manager system (apt-get
etc).
Hope this helps. Welcome to Ubuntu.

cheers,
Owen.
