Using The Terminal
Most newcomers to Linux or Unix systems are "scared" of the Unix terminal, however what many people don't know is that
Windows has a similar program called the command prompt (click start>run and type "cmd").
The terminal is a very powerful tool, and is often used to install things in Linux. I would personally recommend that many people
learn a few basic commands. Note that if you search for the terminal, that it uses bash
One very useful command that people shouldn't be afraid of is "sudo apt-get install *program name* " without quotes.
an example of this is sudo apt-get install amarok the system will then ask for your password and install the program.
