I have to admit, even though I am a fan of Ubuntu, I do not use it nearly enough.  Because of that, it is not uncommon for me to have to go around and find the same website time and time again to show me how to do the same old tasks over and over again.

So, I’ve decided to start documenting the installation of some of the more basic services and applications in Ubuntu.  These will all be command line installations so that they will work regardless of whether you have xWindows installed or not.

I will be basing these installations on the following assumptions:

  • The system is running Ubuntu 8.10
  • All of the sources have been enabled by modifying the /etc/apt/sources.list file
  • The system has been installed with basic installation settings and no extras were installed (LAMP, mySQL, etc.)

I will endeavor to make this as cut and paste as possible so that you can reduce the amount of actual effort that you need to perform yourself and get on with the actual work.

This will not be one long series one after the other.  Rather, as I find the need to install a different application or program, I will add it to the blog.

I hope you will find them to be useful.
