I forgot to add,
5. My windows disappear when i minimise, i've to go search for them and re-open, i've checked panel settings and all that, nothing amiss. what could cause this?

Then someone definitely messed with your panel settings . .
Do you have a panel below?
If you do not have them, right click on the top and select New panel.
Right click on the new panel created and select "Add to Panel"

From the options, you can add missing items like
Show Desktop,
Window list
Window selector
Workspace switcher.
and others.

After your done, adjust by dragging to suite your style.
Right click and lock them.

Habib:
Good day people. Thanks so much for your enthusiasm and willingness to help others always, really nice of you. I've a few questions for Bigrovar, Ralvy and anyone who can provide answers.

Thankx Man, that was encouraging

Habib:
I've just installed Ubuntu Feisty Fawn 7.04 and am slowly getting a hang of it. My current issues are:

1. I tried installing some beryl themes from gnome-look.org and kept getting "the file format is invalid", what's wrong?

2. A search from synaptic package manager shows I don't have beryl or emerald theme manager, how do i get these? would getting them make any difference to the file format issue?

If your Beryl themes didnt work, then it means you do not have Beryl manager installed.
and Yes! you can check the box and apply changes to download and install beryl.

Habib:
3. I heard about the ultimate cd's. I'm about to start downloading v.1.4, what do the ultimate cd's contain?

Yes! Ubuntu Ultimate Edition is an ubuntu release with additional software embedded on it.
These distros come with virtually everything you will need to use on ubuntu!
We plan to make it the default for the loco as it will make things much easier for people who want to use ubuntu for the first time . .

Habib:
@Ralvy: are the application cd's and dvd's you atlked about the same as the ultimate 1.4 and 1.5? if yes, then i'm interested but i don't stay in Abuja, i can call you to work something out.

Not exactly, when you download and install softwares on ubuntu. The softwares are cached locally for installation and are executed after the download is finished.
These softwares can be found at the file System under; var/cache/apt/archives.
What we do is to use a linux software called AptonCD that will copy these archives and make application CDs/DVDs out of them to distribute so new users like you do not have to download all the softwares again.

If u look at the screenshot below, you can see archives in my cached apt folder.

The person that makes ubuntu ultimate edition will help us install these softwares so we do not have to download ourselves. so it's not really different. you can have a plain ubuntu distro and have everything in the Ultimate series which means you will have to download all packages. I hope you geddit now?

Habib:
4. How do i run *.exe files on Ubuntu, most ms windows programs are *.exe ,

Yes! You should not expect all your Windows applications to run on Linux, they are built for different platforms, although -we have some sort of emulators like "wine" that will let some windows apps work.

Habib:
Just for your info. though, i've never gone online with my laptop as i'm used to getting stuff from the internet then installing them on my pc

Ubuntu is kind of internet dependent.
Once in a while, you should go online and update ur distros.
It's necessary as it can help fix bugs and other stuff.

Your Welcome

One more thing
Plug in the external Hard Disk Drive when Installing as you will have to allocate a drive letter to the ext2 partition!

Feel free using Linux, Share the Power of Open Source

yh! 7Zip is the shit 4 nw!

What are u doing with 1.4, I can send 1.6 to u!
