Ubuntu GNU/Linux Notes         Tux the Penguin!

These pages contain information about the Ubuntu distribution of GNU/Linux. Much of this information was originally written for version 6.06 ("Dapper Drake") and has now been updated for version 8.04 ("Hardy Heron").

Some of this information also applies to the Kubuntu distribution. However, Kubuntu/KDE users must use the kdesu command instead of the gksudo command used in Ubuntu/GNOME.

This information is provided in the hope that it will be useful. It's based on information found in the resources listed below, elsewhere on the Internet, and by my own experimentation.

I believe this information to be correct, but if you spot any errors please let me know via the Contact link here.
