Actually Xubuntu is much better then I remembered it to be. I last tried it in it's Dapper Beta form and I noticed quite a few bugs. But they seem...
From apt-cache: gwget - GNOME front-end for wget Cheers :)
it's not that I don't care for it, it's just that i've never used it before and I was wondering what made it so special. I need to go through the...
Ah good point! BTW, is there a GUI for WGET?
So what can VIM do that Nano (or any other text editor) can't?
Yeah, I think it's pretty important to know how to compile a kernel, so I'll give it a go. Okay, I noticed that VI was used in there somewhere....
The lack of repositories was the no.1 reason I ditched SuSE. I am sure you remember my countless posts about circular dependencies and so on! I...
Is compiling a kernel as simple as ./configure > make > make install? [/ot]

Will do :) Isn't there a command that exports a PATH as well? something like 'EXPORT=/path/to/directory ?
Hmm. I don't seem to have a bash_profile file. The only thing referring to BASH is bash_history. I don't have a ~/bin/ directory either!
Thanks AT. Easy :) Another question for you :D How do I add directories into my PATH?
Well considering the amount of RAM that laptop has available, you'll have to go for a lightweight distribution. With that in mind, i'd suggest...
Kget version 0.8.5 Konqueror version 3.5.2 Kget doesn't come with Kubuntu by default, so I had to apt-get it.
Ok, but how do I make symbolic links in the terminal?
