I recently switched from Xandros to Ubuntueee. The main reason for this was due to my need for a DVD copying tool and not being able to get K3b to function on Xandros. I am a new comer and don't understand terminal commands. In Ubuntueee it was very simple to use 'synaptic manager' to install and run K3b. However, I now have other issues with Ububtueee and wonder about returning to Xandros. I didn't ever see a 'synaptic manager' system in Xandros but wonder if it did have anything similar. If it did then that's all I need.

I don't know about the Eee, but all other versions of Xandros have Xandros Networks for installing new software. I assume that's available on the Eee also. You can also install Synaptic, with Xandros Networks if it's available, or at the command line if not.

"Synaptic" is available from "EeePC" repositories. Install it by typing
"apt-get install synaptic" (no qoutes) within console. If a shortcut isnt
installed, launch it with "synaptic" command (in console).

In that case if the version of Ubuntu fails that I am installing I will go back to Xandros.

Thanks
