Comments: 5 Newbie-Friendly Post-Installation Ubuntu Usability Setup Guide This tutorial is designed for new Linux users that are familiar with Microsoft Windows. The goal is to address some of the most common issues that these people face. (Namely, media codecs, and general terminology.) I tried to write it as someone might explain it vocally; I attempted to add humor in an effort to keep it interesting, although I make no guarantees that it is actually funny.

Comments: 2 Preparing An Ubuntu Machine For Upgrade The Debian / Ubuntu upgrade mechanism is a wonderful piece of software. When the new release comes out, just follow the instructions given by the update manager and the upgrade will be done almost automatically. Sometimes Ubuntu asks for your help when you made other changes than the upgrade program itself wants to make. This howto gives a few tips on how to make your Ubuntu installation more upgrade-friendly. I tested it on Ubuntu installations, but the mechanisms in this howto should not be different for Debian.

Passwords will be stored encrypted as MD5 strings in the database.

Command-Line Copy&Paste With xclip (Debian/Ubuntu)
Author: Falko Timme • Tags: debian, ubuntu • Comments: 4Command-Line Copy&Paste With xclip (Debian/Ubuntu) xclip is a command line interface to the X11 clipboard.

It also allows you to put the contents of a file directly into the clipboard.
