A bit of good news, I managed to break my Gallery last night, doing
something I was able to do before, but since Gallery updated, it stopped
the gallery from working and broke it and it took the site offline. Took
me ages to work it out, but I discovered that the file I had changed had

If you're just talking about copying and pasting text, then
absolutely... It's ctrl+shift+c and ctrl+shift+v in gnome-terminal -
or alternatively highlight text with the mouse and use the middle
mouse button to paste (which also works with anything else in
gnome...not sure about kde!)

John, I'm sure that if you have any problems you can join the IRC
channel #ubuntu-uk on irc.freenode.net and there's sure to be someone
who'll help you in there.
See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat for more IRC
details.

if you're trying to copy a directory you need to use cp -r
ie. cp -r ~/Desktop/title ~ or similar, which will create a
directory called title under your home directory with the same

home directory)

Yes, in Linux, a folder is usually known as a directory.

Hi John,
ssh is a secure way of communicating with a remote server. At the most
basic level it is like having a terminal session on the remote computer,

Hi John,
Other useful commands could include
df (shows disk usage)
pwd (print working directory)
mkdir (makes a directory)
I also find lynx really useful for testing websites from remote
locations and for W3C compliance - just apt-get install lynx then you
should be able to use
