Before you spend a lot of time struggling with the command line, you might want to consider downloading the desktop installation media from <a href="http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop" target="_blank">http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop</a> You can always use aptitude to pull down gnome, KDE or a number of other desktops but if you're starting from scratch it might be just as easy to pull a fresh ISO and install over the top of what you already have, Either was you'll end up with a Linx distribution with a nice desktop, so the choice is yours - if you have the bandwidth though, I'll just download a 12.10 ISO, install and be done with it. -- Steve When one person suffers from a delusion it is insanity.
