For those who want to install .deb files and are using Ubuntu 8.10, you could click on the .deb file and it will be installed for you. Otherwise go to the terminal and use the dpkg command. How does it work? It’s easy if you’re already on the path of the file. If you downloaded your .deb file in /home/username then on the command line make sure that you are there. The command to check where you are is pwd. The run the command “dpkg -i filename.deb” Remove the “” when you run the command.

There are graphical interfaces for installing and stuff. But it doesn’t hurt to teach others how to use these commands either.

Wow, type in all these cryptic commands and magic happens.

how does one find out what the hell all these commands are, is there some sort of dictionary?

This is really frustrating for someone who just wants to install applications so he can get to work on this “wonderful” operating system. The level of frustration involved in simply getting applications into place is phenomenal.

Until Linux gets past this stage and into “1 click install” territory it is destined to remain a fringe OS. Great playground for geeks and developers to tinker with but a nightmare for people who “just want to get to work”.

It’s not a matter of whether or not portage is better. It’s the fact that portage is specifically the Gentoo package manager. He’s not saying that Debian or RPM users should use Portage as that is not possible. He is saying that everyone should use Gentoo. And that is just plain old elitist crap.
