Ubuntu: Up and Running

Summary

This chapter covered a number of things that you can do over the Internet using Ubuntu. For most users, this will be enough. But if there’s a program or feature you want that I haven’t mentioned, you will almost certainly be able to find it (or another program that provides a reasonable approximation of the feature) by searching either the Synaptic Package Manger or the Ubuntu Software Center.

One of the best examples of the power and capability of open source software is the OpenOffice.org productivity suite of programs, which we’ll take a look at in the next chapter.
