[21:27] <clifter> Is it better to install with using the "Ubuntu Software Center" or from "Terminal" using sudo apt-get install <program> ? ? Advantages or disadvantages to either way ? ?
[21:28] <pleia2> I wouldn't say one is better than another
[21:28] <pleia2> a lot of people find the ubuntu software center easier to search and use (particularly if they don't like the command line)
[21:29] <blitz> one way you learn more about the terminal
[21:29] <pleia2> I've always used apt-get without issue though
[21:29] <blitz> I feel like using apt-get is more transparent as to what's actually going on
[21:29] <blitz> you know what packages you're getting
[21:33] <clifter> pleia2; blitz: Thanks - I favor Terminal because I see right away if package installed ok. Just wondering wasn't sure where to ask? Is this channel ok for occasional general support question?
[21:36] <pleia2> clifter: yep, asking here is fine :)
[21:41] <clifter> pleia2: Cool thanks much
[23:51] <clifter> I have forgotten proper way to add another irc channel to start as well as my default channel. Any ideas?
[23:55] <clifter> Running Ubuntu 13.10 - Icon for log-off & shutdown is missing after a reboot I just did. What would be a good fix? Have used Terminal before.
