Hello, my current Linux distribution is ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon) which you can get here. It's a very good distribution to start if you want to discover the Linux world since it is very user-friendly and has some very powerful tools right out of the box.
But just like happens with every other operating system, you want to install your programs right? In ubuntu that is made by using the Synaptics Package Manager. This is a great package management tool which you can (and should) use to install all of your programs. You just have to do a search and it's almost sure that you will find what you are looking for. Then you just have to check it for instalation and click on the apply button. Then all the work is done for you! Isn't that great?
But it will come the time where you search for a program and you get no results. "Ok, I'll just search for it on the internet", you say. That's the right thing to do but sometimes you will find your programs in some forms that you are not used to. You have to build them to make them work. This is a process that might not be easy for some people who are just looking for a straight forward installation. In that case, if the application has some information about a repository where you can get it, you can add that repository to your system and then let Synaptic Package Manager do all the work for you!
I recorded the following video for you to understand better:

I hope you enjoy it and learn something with it!
Just a note to tell you that since this is my first video it isn't very good, but next time I'll do better!
