ubuntu notes

I will maintain on this page my notes about the initial setup and configuation of the Ubuntu operating system. I have become a major fan of Ubuntu, and have now converted each of my Windows PCs and laptops to Ubuntu.

• ubuntu.com, software perhaps best installed from wubi-installer.org.
• virtualbox.org allows you to run Windows in an ubuntu window. You will need your Windows CD and authentication code that came with your Windows PC. (Else the master Windows CD from your MSDN subscription, if you have one.)
• sudo apt-get install emacs22-gtk
• sudo apt-get install gtkpod    # this is for ipod
• xmodmap -e "keysym Caps_Lock=Control_R"
• sudo apt-get install tcsh
• chsh --shell /bin/tcsh
