      Almost.

      Your Kubuntu Linux is a Debian Linux. So, the packaged applications come in .deb packages. But they are mostly 32-bit, except the ones in our repository.

      To install a 64-bit .deb file that you might download, you right-click it and choose "Install with Gdebi".

            Code:
            man man
            man - an interface to the on-line reference manuals

            Code:
            man -a intro
            Display, in succession, all of the available intro manual pages
            contained within the manual. It is possible to quit between
            successive displays or skip any of them.
            Windows no longer obstructs my view.
            Using Kubuntu Linux since March 23, 2007.

                Good catch, Snowhog -- if I ever knew that one, I had forgotten it.
