[23:15] <SDFGHKLJFDFHG> hi all 
[23:15] <SDFGHKLJFDFHG> i need help please can somomne hel me out im new to unbuntu 
[23:17] <jea> Good morning
[23:17] <SDFGHKLJFDFHG> good nite
[23:17] <jea> I think you will find the best help in #ubuntu, which is a general help channel
[23:17] <jea> this is the Australian loco channel for Ubuntu
[23:17] <SDFGHKLJFDFHG> lol
[23:17] <SDFGHKLJFDFHG> can i get my hel p me too 
[23:18] <jea> you can ask
[23:19] <SDFGHKLJFDFHG> after i doenload loaded ubuntu of the internet do i just click and drag the file in the the USB drive and restart and boot from USB DRIVE 
[23:20] <jea> no, not quite
[23:21] <jea> you need to make a bootable USB using the iso you downloaded
[23:21] <SDFGHKLJFDFHG> i think my computer already can USB boot
[23:21] <jea> i normally use this from windows - http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/
[23:21] <SDFGHKLJFDFHG> automacily
[23:22] <jea> your computer might be able to boot from USB, but the USB has to be created in a special way for it to work
[23:22] <SDFGHKLJFDFHG> i use a dell and dell dont boot auto 
[23:22] <jea> so you need to use that program I linked to to put the ISO file onto the USB drive
[23:22] <SDFGHKLJFDFHG> i think dell can boot auto 
[23:22] <jea> if you just drag the file you downloaded to the USB drive, it will not work
[23:23] <SDFGHKLJFDFHG> it says it can boot from usb but i guessing i will still ned the software fromt hat site then 
[23:23] <jea> yes
[23:24] <SDFGHKLJFDFHG> ok thank you 
[23:24] <jea> you can also read this - http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-windows
[23:24] <jea> which gives you another option
[23:44] <gggs> woa, I've been using apt-get for years and only just discovered the awesomeness of aptitude
[23:46] <jea> aptitude can be very useful
[23:51] <gggs> so much nicer than apt-get update/upgrade/dist-upgrade/install, and even implements those commands for compatibility anyway
