Alright, this is starting to piss me off.
It's been about 10 years since I used Unix and I've been trying to play with ubuntu, but everytime I try and do something (like install F@H, AV, etc) I have to jump through hoops to get permissions.
Is there a good beginner's guide for basic stuff? _________________

thanks, but I think I need the BIG 'tards-user version. My brain is too used to GUIs. The command-line part of my brain died a long time ago  _________________

Try Windows.
(BTW.. if you're running Mac OS X you already have Unix... BSD to be exact) |

yeah, but I don't have to think to use that. Everything runs as user unless it needs root, then it prompts for the root password. _________________
