Linux help!

[Danial Weston]

Hello,

I'm a new user of Ubuntu, and I need help.

1) can I download iTunes for Linux?

2) How do I add more email address in mail envirement?

3) How do I get sound working?

4) This is the old verion of Ubuntu, not the ubuntu 8

What do I do?

1) can I download iTunes for Linux

There is no native version, but you might be able to run in through Wine. Searching the forums for "Wine iTunes" will probably turn up a bunch of threads about that.

There are also plenty of Linux-native applications with similar functionality to iTunes. If you have Ubuntu installed, you'll already have Rhythmbox, and a lot of people swear by Amarok (although that requires a bunch of KDE libraries, which is a turn-off for some people).

Hard? It says I don't have wine?
bash command not found? Do I need to install it?

You might want to take a look at the Ubuntu website first. There's quite a bit of info in there.
You could also look here and here

Of course there's the monkeyblog, which should help you install stuff, and the undervalued Psychocats, where you will get most of what you would want to know

You can install wine from your package manager.

You said you wanted "iTunes". Do you really just want an online music store, or do you have an account with Apple already that you need to keep using? Amazon offers a native Linux app for their (non-DRM!) music store, if purchasing music from other sources is acceptable.

If you are just after iPod management, maybe something like Banshee would be what you need?

EDIT: This thread is just all over the place, isn't it? Not really about "Desktop Environments" at all. Maybe a mod can move this to the "Beginner" section, since there are basic questions about package managers and such.
