I really enjoy using Ubuntu Linux and find for the most part it caters to all my needs with out installing extra software. If you want to do some word processing, Internet browsing or send emails this is all possible right away. However because of licensing there terms not everything is possible. So some assembly or customization is required.

This is not as difficult as it may sound. The problem I have found, is finding tutorials and remembering the address to the resource. Delicious and Google have helped but sometimes I need to figure out the problem as well. Below you will find a list of tutorials and solutions to problems I have faced myself. I have created these articles as both a resource for myself when I next need to configure a new system and for others starting to use and customise Ubuntu to their own needs.
