Instructions


1.  Open a Terminal - click: Applications > Accessories > Terminal

Inside the terminal that pops up (black screen with a place u can type at a flashing cursor) i.e. click your mouse at that point inside the terminal to tell the computer you wish to give it an instruction there by using the keyboard

2.  HOLD DOWN (depress) the Ctrl key AND hold down SHIFT then press "T" (for Tab! ;))

This should pop up a second TAB inside the SAME terminal screen.

Click inside the second tab to activate it, and type the following and then press enter:

Copy everything BETWEEN "-----" next to "#END" to your pastpad (memory) then click inside Gedit and click PASTE, then SAVE, and save it where prompted (in your /home/USERNAME folder) calling the file:

------------------

3.  Click Places (top left/right corner of your screen); then home, and then RIGHT click on 

script-001-post-install-setup-basic

and on the tabs, select Permissions

Check to see if the line "Execute [ ] Allow executing file as program" is ticked or not, and in any event GET THAT BOX WITH A TICK IN ... Because this is a computer program, the computer must be able to RUN i.e. execute it ...  Now all of that is peachy ... Onto the power of *nix.

4.  Click the tab in the Terminal that has Gedit running and click the TAB close key (this will close down Gedit - if it prompts you, select yes to close down that tab (process/GEDIT :)).

5.  In the remaining terminal still open, type the following, replacing USERNAME with YOUR username on YOUR compute:

sudo /home/USERNAME/script-001-post-install-setup-basic

e.g. if when you boot Debian/Ubuntu, the login screen say "jack" and you click that to enter your passphrase and actually start using your username 

NB: may be case sensitive. i.e. in this example you would type

sudo /home/jack/script-001-post-install-setup-basic

NOT

sudo /home/Jack/script-001-post-install-setup-basic

Alternatively; 

Open your home folder via Places (top left or right of your screen) and simply double click on:

script-001-post-install-setup-basic

When you are prompted to select whether you wish to EXECUTE or DISPLAY the file, select EXECUTE (which will in windows language "run" the program).

Sit back and enjoy a few hundreds (or thousands?) worth of the BEST FREE OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE AROUND; obviously you may adapt (especially by adding) your 'can't live without' softwares as you discover them ... If you don't know the best way to do that try:

sudo synaptic

And if for some reason synaptic is not already installed on your machine, simply type

sudo apt-get install synaptic

Once you have Synaptic installed:

sudo synaptic

This is the most detailed and comprehensive look into the wonderful world of SOFTWARE REPOSITORIES ... On a Windows machine, you take a decade (literally) to find all the best software you need to run your machine free (more on that in a post soon coming up).  On Linux (Debian/Ubuntu for sure anyhow), you have AUTOMATIC ONE CLICK ACCESS to almost 20,000 free software packages ... Which you can install without even needing to be at your machine (as per above; and that's just one way!).  I could write so much more right now, but for now, the above will have to act as an introduction to the command line (Terminal/BASH), and how to very quickly set up a brand new install with loads of cool FREE SOFTWARE FAST.  

As a parting thought (but outside the scope of this short tutorial); the above script even works remotely .. On a machine, on the other side of the planet.  If you're new to all such things; 

sudo apt-get install openssh-client

man openssh

Welcome to the Man (Manual) pages! ;)   To use/find your way around:

man NAMEOFSOFTWARE

The most helpful one for those seeking to skip to the meat:

man man

Learn how to use the manual system; b smart HUMAN! ;) LOL

What, you hadn't worked that out yet?  But some really practically useful ones immediately:

man terminal

man top

And used every single minute The White Rabbit sits on any *nix machine; these two (pull them up in one terminal screen with two tabs (like instructions at the top of this page!).

top
ps -AH

Happy FREE COMPUTING! :)
PS.  If you want to remove any of the programs:

sudo apt-get remove NAMEOFPROGRAM

With *nix, really; you life just got a whole lot easier ;)
PPS Why don't you GET OFF BACKDOORED SKYPE right now:
