Hi,
You can follow the steps on this page:
http://live.gnome.org/Orca/SysAdmin
Or use the commandline to do system administration. I personally use a
combonation of the two. Sometimes commandline is just simpler than
having to open a program and move through all the options and things.
One example of this is enabling all multimedia support in Ubuntu. You
can go through the package manager and check the 20+ packages you need,
or you can open a terminal and type:
sudo apt-get install gstreamer* ubuntu-restricted-extras
sometimes, like with setting up an account for another user, it is
easier to use the gui. But you will have less problems if you launch
the gui from the commandline with sudo. So:
sudo users-admin
There are a few more things that will help out, like a bit of knowledge
of VI or Nano. IF anyone wants to try out Ubuntu, you can semd me an
email off list and I'll help out in any way I can.
