1. if you ever get complain of installer about "dpkg" pakage installer
   run this as "sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/lock"
   
2. system = admin = update manager will take some 30+ mins, 
3. to move window buttons to right
   run alt+E2 = gconf-editor = apps/metacity/general change buttons=menu:min,max,close
   
4. install tree command: sudo apt-get install tree
5. install "terminator" (MY FAVORITE) split-pane terminal like "PowerCmd" for Windows
   
   sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gnome-terminator
   sudo apt-get update
   sudo apt-get install terminator
   
   
6. sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras

8. right-click desktop = appearance Prefs
   = fonts tab (set all to 9px from 10 px)
