I started up with linux in 2005, but the heat of cisco exams has caused some kind of a temporary break. Any linux fan just holla in, naija is waiting to hear from you


If linux doesn't have a solution, then probably you have the wrong problem.

Been a linux user since 2006 look at ubuntunigeria.

with vmware installed on ur windows PC, u can try out a linux OS & feel the power; no virus scares and with loads of freebies to cater all probs.

Linux is da bomb!

well i started linux some 6 months ago before that i use to think that windows was the best thing to happen to computer, well in a way it still is , but ubuntu has really opened me up to a lot of things, i recommend it for pple whu wants a system that is stable and secured , and for power users too , for me ubuntu os is the best any way

first of all u need to know if ur webcam is working on ubuntu , * some webcams dont work and u would need to install the driver , install cheese , it is in synaptics , just open synatics and search for[b] cheese [/b] , its an awesome app for taking pictures and video shots with ur webcam , if cheese works then ur webcam is ok , if it doesnt , it would give u an error msg, let me know and pls post the system i.e lappy and if possible the type of webcam , back to ur quetsion , kopete is a good msger client that supports webcam . , search synatics for it u should also search for and install jasper and libjasper

*Synaptic is ur tool for installing ,upgrading, and removing packages on ubuntu , and it can be found in the top panel under System/Administration

Like what bigbrovar said synaptics also there's a site called find deb its a good resource

Bros, I know how to install those in synaptics but wat i want to know is how to install programs that I download independently of synaptics.

u can do that try going to www.getdeb.net there u can download individual packages to install , however u have to learn to use synaptics cus its the way ubuntu was built , and it sure makes thing easy especially when u have a program that has dependencies , it would install them for u , so my friend get used to synaptics , it would say u from having to jump from one site to the other looking for downloads ,
