Hi Shane

Thank you again. Sorry it hard to be specific right now, most of the
time I'm ok with 9.04, its just the odd things here and there that I not
sure about. I think when I first got some of the earilier version ie
8.10 and some of the other types of files like "rpm" which I tried to
download install a few things but couldn't quite get them working. The
only thing is I cant remember which programs they were now as I deleted
the older 8.10 version. Nevertheless I just downloading tried skype
stand alone again and that worked really well this time, but for some
reason I tried it a few weeks ago and not much happened. Maybe I was
missing some dependancies not quite sure. Same with cinelerra, whilst it
works fine in 9.04 it kind of doesn't seem to install onto the menu but
I realise this is not a program ubuntu supports. In the meantime I'll
keep trying and download some more stand alone .deb files and play
around with them again. Sorry Its just I still getting used to things on
linix and not quite sure about the some of the terminalogy. Nevertheless
I think you guys are doing a great job with linux and really do think
its wonderful operating system.

Cheers
Serge
