awesome...

here is my first ipression...

incredibly FASt

graphically different...

easy software installtion and huge range of softwares...

best for geeks...

takes a while to understand...(can do that)

too much software and weird names ... makes me feel like i am on alien planet !!

faster shutdown !!! i like that... just like a TV///

too much of this sudo... gedit stuff... for doingsimple things... that makes work difficult ... since not all can have net access.. and that will be a quite difficulty ....

but still have to learn ... may be i have just joined the college.... have to get support from seniors(prak,T159,rahimveron,mehulved...etc)

but nice change though from vista...
but i have to say .. dont mistake me... vista was likesmooth as butter.. and its was like a a detailed piece of software... everthing precisely done...

i still dont know how to create a folder in ubuntu ?? that right click.. there is no option... (may be i would have missed it) and all those weird folder names... i dont know whicih is for which ..

anyway .. ubunutu is simply good.. and i think i will like it.. if it reduces those sudo,gedit stuff.. and makes everythinga click away...

Its the first option in the context menu, "Create folder ...". How could you miss that?

 

[Rahim]

Naveen you can make a folder in your home folder. Maybe you are trying to create one in "/".

ya ^^^ u r right...

 

[gary4gar]

ya ^^^ u r right...

make a shortcut for this command.
Right click > new launcher

It runs Nautilus in Super user mode

gksudo nautilus

but use it with caution, as you can mess with the system

 

[naveen_reloaded]

will do..

is ther ea way to make this asking username for each and every step??

it will ask you password once, and then remember it until idle timeout which is 5 minutes.

also you can enable auto login
System -> Administration -> Login
General Tab -> Automatic Login -> select your username

ada yennada ithu?u should adjust to Linux /*nix type and dont expect window$ in Linux enna?Linux cannot be made like window$ although lookwise it may be possible.the superiror linux kernel and unix architecture needs ur time to get familiar with.
that is why ,Linux is NOT Windows

you should just casually check ur Desktop(Gnome) and be familiar to Applications menu.
seriously,need to unlearn many a window$ things in Linux.thats why win power users find it hard first on GNU/Linux.
take ur time nanba

My 3rd day with Ubuntu. And im still used to that right click and refresh thing. lolz

Btw whats the difference between Ubuntu and Kubuntu ? And what is this KDE thing ?

 

[praka123]

Yup that was eazy to figure out But im still waiting for answer to my other questions

 

[mehulved]

And what is this KDE thing ?

KDE is a different desktop than GNOME. *nix just don't have one kind of look like windows. There are so many kinds of desktops, each catering to different kinds of people. KDE, GNOME and XFCE are some of the most widely used and easier ones.

thnks thalaivaaa...

vistala irunthu vanthathala.. konjum kastama than iruku.. ana i will adjust...
neenga sonneegala that f5 stuff.. wht do u mean by whole system refresh???

 

[praka123]

^for mere "refresh" a command called "xrefresh -white" exits.that just repaints the X windows system.

while,what F5 does is,it restarts/refreshes the File Manager(Nautilus in Gnome).nothing much.

 

[Dhruv11]

Cool. And if we want, we can install KDE on GNOME ?

 

[naveen_reloaded]

okkk...

epdai neenga ivalo difficult commands niyabaga,ma vachirukeenga??
