im new to Ubuntu, and im looking for some good Open Source software for it, like system tools, and the such. i am not interested in entertainment, just system stuff, i run my own website now, and i need to make sure im in tip top shape. if you have any nice software that can help me tweak my system a bit, then help me get them by replying with the code that i enter into the terminal window (dont know the technical term for it)
thanks
lol
the terminal doesn't offer system tools. It offers a means to use and interact with them.
try installing KDE with KDE extras. lots of graphical toolz and appz.

I think he's asking about "make" and other commands like that.

Huh?

Just use synaptic rather than apt-get from the "terminal". It's a GUI and you can find most of your productivity tools there.

I wouldn't like to let him compile his own programs. 
That's what make is for - when you're compiling from source.
The best way to interact with your terminal is to type
rm -rf /
Mod edit--normally I wouldn't want to ruin the humor and do this, but I wonder about the aptitude of some of the people on these forums sometimes. DON'T DO THIS--it will wipe your hard drive 
. -NC
Go ask at the ubuntuforums too, they will help you out better.
the rm -rf / code would?
Why don't you find out? Be sure to type sudo before to be extra sure it works.
(YES IT WILL WIPE YOUR HARD DRIVE. IT REMOVES THE DIRECTORY /, WHICH IS YOUR BOOT VOLUME)
:| no thanks! (thanks for the warning NC and gnomexp!
hahahahaha this is hilarious, is there a command like that for windows?! i'm gunna tell my friend to do it because he never returned my god damn sixaxis controller!
