setting up Ubuntu properly

Now that you have Ubuntu installed...now you can add stuff to it.

you will notice that it comes fully ready to work. There is always room for improvement.

I switch off Unity, as I don't like the interface, log off, choose Ubuntu classic.

Next I add the restricted codecs...open a terminal window...applications/accessories/terminal

then paste this without the quotes "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras"


follow the prompts...

Run the Ubuntu Software Center, look for apps you may need.

Install Flash by searching in the Software Center for "flashplugin-installer"

Want to install Windows applications, try Wine... Windows in a 'nix environment

Next time we'll talk about Spotify and how to access music in Spotify on an NTFS partition.
