Evening all,
Well it's not evening, but it sounds more optimistic because more interesting things happen in the evenings... ...Anyway...
I realise that this probably makes me sound kina thick; I am a lowly windows user, unfortunately, so I've become far too used to, "click the pretty button". I really like the ethics behind Linux, and Ubuntu especially, plus Linux is a far better OS in the first place, so I'm a strong Linux advocate, I'm just pretty darn awful at using it at the moment!
I've had a look at the other posts, followed their instructions, but I still can't install downloaded programs such as WINE or RealPlayer. I really need wine so that I can install MS Outlook, so that it can support my PDA (if it were not for my PDA I'd do away with Microsoft crap all together!)
I have also been having great difficulty installing my Hp LaserJet 4+. It seems to load on, but then when I print anything, it just comes out with hundreds of pages with one line of coding on the top! It's a networked printer, so there is no computer attached to it.
If anybody would be able to help me with a "complete and utter idiots guide to installing" I would be extremely grateful!

PS I ordered 600 of the free Kubuntu disks last year, anybody got any idea of how I can check where they are?
