Hi, i have just got an Acer Aspire One, with Linux on it, and i was wondering if someone could give me step by step instructions to installing Banshee... Keep in mind that i know absolutely nothing about Linux, so please keep it basic!
MFA,
Welcome to LinuxQuestions.
As Jay73 mentioned, Synaptic package manager is included with the Linpus operating system.
Open Synaptic, type banshee in the "Search" box and press Enter.
Tick the box to the left of banshee.
Click on Mark for installation.
Click on Mark All Upgrades (some extra packages may be needed in addition to the one you have selected).
Click on Apply.
Click on Apply.
As an alternative to Linpus you could install another Linux OS such as Mint or Ubuntu 8.10 or whatever. Do a Google search or a search of this forum to get user feedback for the Acer Aspire One. There are several specialist forums devoted to the AA1.
