Add/Remove programs is meant for desktop applications. > what the <BEEP> i can do without them as an Admin? You can find all of those things in synaptic. You just need to realise that for example there's no package called "File server". You can serve files in many different ways (http, ftp, cifs, and nfs, just to name a few) and that functionality is provided by different packages (apache2, vsftpd, samba, nfs-server-kernel, for instance). Synaptic should be able to help you search for the packages you need. If that doesn't help you, you can *politely* (this is very important) ask for help in choosing the right software for your needs. > *** can't log in as "root" by typing "su -" ********** Correct. Ubuntu encourages the user to not log in as root, but to use sudo to run the specific commands that require root privilege. So, instead of: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ su - [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# adduser john Adding user `john'... [etc, etc.] ...what Ubuntu wants you to do is: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo adduser john Adding user `john'... [etc, etc.] You will notice that every time you start a terminal, you see the following helpful notice: To run a command as administrator (user "root"), use "sudo <command>". See "man sudo_root" for details. If you have suggestions as to how we can make it any more clear than that, please share them. > it is the worst of <BEEP> ubuntu. > no other Linux don't make us angry No other users make us quite as angry as you. Please behave in a respectful manner. I do believe we've earned it. -- Soren Hansen Ubuntu Server Team http://www.ubuntu.com/
