Hello Community!

It's a pleasure to be apart of something exciting as Ubuntu!
This is not my first venture into the LINUX gateway, however I plan to make this my final....

I installed Kubuntu 9.10 on my 64-bit AMD PC.


9600 Phenom Quad-Core Chip
4 GB+ Ram w/500GB HDD
HD 2600 Radeon (nothing fancy, but it's stable)

This new web broswer Konqueror is defualt browser.


How do I change defualt browser? The options in FF & Opera settings don't function as smoothly as they do in Windows

I need to import my fonts for my current work files.


Where might I access my "fonts" folder? (Font Installer - System Settings)

I particularly favored CuteFTP and Daemon Tools


Is there a reasonable substitute for mounting imgs/iso's? Will D.T. work in 9.10?

I goto complete the form and I have ZERO, Zilch, Nadda, No luck....

How the FRIK do I register an account with Xubuntu forums?

so far the answers I've put in are as follows: 2010, 20, Bangalore, Canada, No
(Perhaps I need not to capitalize the words, or my math is wrong?!)

I've snag'd a solid domain name, I hope to gather a good amount of data and publish some blog-content for other new-linux users in the future. Any help/flame war would be great advice for me. Thanks.

Quick Nooblet Questions Pt.2
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

My Audio works "outside" of the browser, I just got done jamming out to Jimmy Morrison.


Why does it not work in FF, Opera, or Konqeror?

How come I did not need to install my Drivers (mobo, audio, etc..) even though this was a FRESH wipe & install...
Why can't a "DRAG a BOX" around my icons on desktop but I can in sub-folders?
What is the purpose of Desktop Folder?
I've read that people install'd CS4 Photoshop? Any luck/advice?
What advice could you share with me (good or bad)?

Hi Maggew,

a lot of questions in here.
Also interesting that three of them are 1st questions ;-)
I will try to answer at least two of them ...


How do I change defualt browser? The options in FF & Opera settings don't function as smoothly as they do in WindowsHave a look here and tell if it works:

Where might I access my "fonts" folder? (Font Installer - System Settings)The fonts folder is /usr/share/fonts
Or use the font installer of the system settings as u said. (So whats the question again?)


I have the same problem with sound in Firefox in my Suse kde4 system, maybe it is a general problem, but im not into that ...
