I am a total noob at linux. after installing ubuntu 8.4 on my laptop, desktop, and girlfriends pc. I have made a cheat sheet to make things easier. It consists of some programs and terminal commands.
IF you have any sort of cheat sheet please post it here. I want to know if you have found stuff out that might make ubuntu easier for me and others. thanks


This is what I have:


first off
application/ accessories/ terminal

sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/hardy.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install medibuntu-keyring

sudo apt-get update


skype
sudo apt-get install ia32-libs lib32asound2 libasound2-plugins; wget -O skype-install.deb http://www.skype.com/go/getskype-linux-ubuntu; sudo dpkg -i --force-all skype-install.deb;


terminal partition (a web site)

partition
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install gparted ntfsprogs

gksudo gparted


adobe acrobat reader
sudo apt-get install acroread

BOOT ORDER
from ubuntu and win. xp

application/accessories/terminal

su (enter)
psw: **** (enter)
gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst (enter) <.lst is a Lst> <space after gedit >

(you should see something like this in the beginning)
--- --- --- ---
# menu.lst - See: grub(8), info grub, update-grub(8)
# grub-install(8), grub-floppy(8),
# grub-md5-crypt, /usr/share/doc/grub
# and /usr/share/doc/grub-doc/.

## default num
# Set the default entry to the entry number NUM. Numbering starts from 0, and
# the entry number 0 is the default if the command is not used.
#
# You can specify 'saved' instead of a number. In this case, the default entry
# is the entry saved with the command 'savedefault'.
# WARNING: If you are using dmraid do not use 'savedefault' or your
# array will desync and will not let you boot your system.
default 0
--- --- --- ---
right here at the bottom of the example it says 'default 0'
change the '0' to a '4' if you want to have win. xp to start up first
change it back to a '0' to have ubuntu start up automatically
remember to save

Please note that all of this worked for me right after I installed Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron (the '64' one).
