You are in the right place. I am going to get you started with a guide on how to use your new Ubuntu system. This transition guide is targeted at existing Windows users and will show you how to do program installations, a little system configuration, but primarily highlight some Windows "replacement" programs for common applications you can't live without. This guide's intent is to introduce you to equivalent programs to what you are accustomed to and, hopefully, to cover a good amount of what you might want in a new install.

This site was inspired by a MacWorld article on turning an old Apple laptop into a digital picture frame. I decided to try my hand at creating my own digital frame and while looking around for information to help me with my project, I soon realized that there are quite a number of people who have been building laptop picture frames. This page is a resource for anyone who would like to create their own.

This is a tutorial about how to set up the LIRC server and how to use it in order to control your system or specific LIRC-enabled applications with a remote control. Examples of simple or more complicated setups are also provided.

The first time I did it was a nightmare, which I described in this post to the TwonkyVision forum. In retrospect I did too much research, which lead to lots of conflicting advice — probably much of it out of date. TwonkyVision may one day make this recipe obsolete or unnecessary, but until then these are "tried and true" recipes, which I hope you'll benefit from.

However, this article intends to provide an overview of what happens behind the scenes after this mouse button has been pressed and how Rhythmbox and Avahi work together in order to make the sharing of music such an easy task.
