After installing Lubuntu you will need some standard apps to start working.
You can easily setup some standard applications by using simple command line language.
Click on the start menu and roll over system tools and choose UXTerm.
The syntax to install software is then following
sudo apt-get install <application>
A simple example how to install skype is this simple command line
sudo apt-get install skype
(You can select the above line and copy. To paste into the the UXTerm press the mouse-wheel to paste)
Assuming that your password is not blank, you will be prompted at least once for your sudo/administrator password.
Here is a quick list of some useful applications to start working with Lubuntu
sudo apt-get install apache-openoffice - will install openoffice applications suite
sudo apt-get install skype - will install popular skype for instant messaging and video calls
sudo apt-get install chrome-browser - will install Google Chrome Browser
sudo apt-get install gimp - will install freeware gimp for image handling.
Please help me complete this list. Make a suggestion for the missing apps in the comments.
Thanks.
