[xubuntu-users] Install software

[JMZ]

Please don't be so hard on yourself.  I learn new commands or command 
syntaxes every day, usually by searching the web for examples and then 
reading man.  Perhaps even Linus Torvalds himself learns new features 
about the kernel every day.

The most difficult selling point for any linux flavor is the dreaded "do 
I have to learn how to type commands?"  Most people's eyes glaze over at 
the thought of a terminal screen.  They'd rather spend money on a newer 
and faster systems to run bloated Windows releases than learn how to 
handle a leaner kernel which can run on much simpler hardware.  I am 
convinced that anyone, and especially myself, can learn linux well.  
Really, it's a matter of time-investment -- not everyone has the time to 
learn libreoffice, for example, when their entire workplace uses MS Office.

Good luck!
