cant login as root
 

NVM, but if you are reading this and know "the easy way" to install stuff on unbuntu (like a program) isntead of dealing with tars (im newbie) would be helpfull thanks.

type your "root-password"

I ended up going into the users and i found out :)

But is there a easy program to find stuff to install, besides apt-cache ing it?

and where do i log in as root, (not in console but where you would do by user name, it says you cant do it there)

Sorry, can't help U with ubuntu.

thx anywase ^^

You rarely need to go to tar files for installation. There are two paths in Ubuntu to install from a GUI interface. They are both easy to use and insure that any dependancies are automatically installed for you. The first you get by clicking "Application" on the left side of the upper bar. Selecting Add/Remove will take you to a simple catalog of what's available. The other method is still GUI but gives you more options. You get there by clicking "System", sliding the cursor to "Administration" and lastly clicking "Synaptic Package Manager". What I do is when someone instructs me to use the command line to install I first go to Synaptic to see if the package is available there. Best of luck and post if you have more questions.
