Thought I'd give Ubuntu a try as well (purely on the basis of this thread
) and have to say that I am impressed. All up and running on my wireless home laptop with no major issues...typing this from it!
The only thing I am finding a wee problem is trying to install new programs. I want to use Thunderbird for my e-mail, and Skype as well. I have found Linux versions, but when I download anything the files just sit on the desktop, and no amount of clicking can get them to do anything
I have tried using the 'New Program' installer, but Thunderbird is greyed out, and clicking on it just brings up a series of errors. The Skype program downloads, and then disappears completely....
I think I'm missing something simple, but can't think what
Help? Please?
