    • ]]>     I know this is a little off the normal mobile phone theme but I though it would be a good idea to show some of you linux fans how to use a really cool utility that is build into all Ubuntu installs. The program is callled apt-get or also known as aptitude. It is a package management system that allows you to install and remove programs from the aptitude database with ease.

    Some of the more common commands for apt-get are as follows

    apt-get install “program name here”

    apt-get remove “program name here”

    apt-get update (this basically updates the program library on your linux box)

    If you have anymore questions you can email me at Support@bluephoenix.tv or you can just comment on this blog and I will be sure to get back with you.
