I have loads of links to help you
out. If you have the newest version of Ubie. That would be Feisty Fawn 7.04. If
your system runs fine as a live CD and sees your wifi card and you can get to
yahoo.com. the sound works, and the vid works. You know for sure that Ubie will
install just fine and dandy. If one of those do not work. You may need to do
some mojo. If your wifi ask for a pass code before getting on the net. Make sure
you run the live CD first, get connected and then start installing. No internet
connection would only cause a longer time to finshed installing. A large amount
of installing is internet based. Same as installing programs from Synaptic.
Please throw away your paradigm of what you know of windows. Linux is not
windows. It kinda looks like it, but a whole different ball game. You most
likely wanting or be needing to install what are called Restricted Formates.
Restricted formates are DVD, MP3, Flash Player, Quick Time, Java, and some
others. These codes do not come all ready installed. So if you can't open up a
flash player, its' because you'll need to install it. They cost money and some
whore... I mean some one wants some cash in their hands. Granted Flash Player is
free and same with Java, We'll get to that point later. You can read up and this
at
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats
There is a script program called Automatix and it will set you up and all of
them. It can take an hour to install and you'll need a good internet connection.
www.getautomatix.com/.../index.php
Or some like Easy Ubuntu
http://easyubuntu.freecontrib.org/
Both are script 3 party software. Some say it breaks their system. It should
not if you read every word on how to install.

OK now for a good list of very good, no but really great links. Some of these
links have video. We all like video! Yummy viddy stuff.

Most of the FAQ I see most is about internet security. Really no worry about
worms, virus's, your system is a Zombie to spread spam, or other bad juju with
windows. Ubie does comes all ready with a firewall installed and is updated
every 4 to 6 months or when necessary. If some odd reason that you think you
have a Linux virus. Please share. Most likely it could be a bug in the Linux
its' self. Yet, you can spread a virus for windows with Linux. Simple really.
You get "I love you " email and it has a exe file. Since Linux can't open up a
exe file, you decide to send it to a friend with windows. That person opens up
the exe file and poof. That person gets infected. With Ubie you can install a
window emulator called Wine. It will run some MS products or formates. If Wine
opens up a virus exe file. The program goes opps and does nothing.
OK I have talk too much of Linux 101. If you want to know the different between
Gnome and KDE desktop. See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/index
Some people like either one. Every one has their opinion which is better. What
matters most is what works best for you. Plain and simple.
Bye Bye of you need more help. There is the Ubie forums. Do not worry about
getting bashed. That is a no no.
