Often Linux distro comes up with softwares in terms of repositories and packages. For instance Ubuntu enterprise edition I demonstrated on first post was 4.2 GB. This installation package is quite composite and versatile and does not need much packages to download. But updates for installed packages and new softwares are always available there at your doorstep.

Remember Window’s run , a very good launchpad or window to search or launch various programs, the counterpart in Linux is available Remastersys. Shortcut is ‘Alt + F2′. You know the most important tool for a user is control panel from where he/she can customize settings like installing software. In Linux there is no control panel, all settings are distributive under administrative settings.

For software removal and upgrade there is a tool in every Linux distro, which is Synaptic in Ubuntu and Yast in Suse.Just press Alt+F2 and type Synaptic or follow path given in image. Now you can play there with so many options. In starting you will get little confused but once you’ll get hole of it you will master the configuration. THAT IS WHAT UNIQUE TRAIT OF LINUX I.E. YOU FEEL MUSH CLOSER TO OS THAN WINDOWS. YOU DO THINGS IN YOUR WAY.


Now search for the package you want to install. For instance if you have nVidia graphics residing hardware on you motherboard so you can’t install the software drivers you have got with it on Linux.

So Linux have universal packages for each hardware stream.
Select it from dropdown list and mark it upgrade and now OS will itself take from either installation media or Internet.
