This article is the discussion of software's installation in Kali Linux, you can install as many software's as you want but I will discuss the installation of some important software's for example: Skype (for communication); Open Office; Flash. When Backtrack 5 was launched, we have discussed the installation of important. How to mange and configure Linux internet security. Secure a Linux server against network attacks and test the effectiveness of the configuration.

Search the DistroWatch database for distributions using a particular package. If you are looking for a distribution with the latest kernel, select 'linux' from the drop-down box below and type the version number into the text box next to it. Please note that the best way to obtain the GNOME version is by searching for 'nautilus', while KDE Plasma is represented by the 'plasma-desktop' package. Apache 2.x is listed as 'httpd'.

As for versioning, if no version number is provided, this page will return any recent versions of the selected package. It is also possible to perform searches for distributions which do not contain a specific package. This returns a list of distributions where the given package is not present on the installation media. The package version search offers the ability to search for packages which are close to a specific version, exactly equal to a specific version, greater than or less than a given version. The second field in the search form allows visitors to switch between these relations. Most people will probably want to use the like option as it will search for packages close to a given version.

When no version is specified, like finds packages close to the latest version. Have fun and let us know how we can improve the search engine!

This is the link you want: Thanks, that looks like a great link. I entered the first command into Terminal and it returned 'command not found', so I changed directory to Desktop and tried again, but got the same result.:- qwer@qwer-desktop:~$ OOo_3.2.0_LinuxIntel_install_en-US_deb.tar.gz bash: OOo_3.2.0_LinuxIntel_install_en-US_deb.tar.gz: command not found qwer@qwer-desktop:~$ cd Desktop qwer@qwer-desktop:~/Desktop$ OOo_3.2.0_LinuxIntel_install_en-US_deb.tar.gz bash: OOo_3.2.0_LinuxIntel_install_en-US_deb.tar.gz: command not found qwer@qwer-desktop:~/Desktop$ Please, what am I doing wrong here? If the tar.gz is like previous ones from OOo direct, you can just open the archive with archive manager by double clicking on it.

That will show one folder with three subfolders, DEBS, licenses, readmes and an update file. The DEBS folder will contain another subfolder called desktop-integration. Again if like previous versions, you can install the new OpenOffice alongside your current version, but will not be able to automatically add menu items; we'll come to that later. Extract the tar.gz to a folder in home. In a terminal navigate to the DEBS folder within that home folder with. Code: sudo dpkg -i *.deband all those.deb files will be installed, and any dependencies needed will be downloaded and installed as well. If you keep your old OOo version, don't install the desktop-integration.deb file or you will give the system a big headache.

That.deb would add menu items if you had removed the previous OOo version, but otherwise you will need to find all the executables for the new version; they were in /opt in previous downloads, so I assume the same will still be true, and simply make launchers to them, either in the main menu, or on your desktop. Splinter Cell Double Agent Highly Compressed Download. Good luck, and I hope this helps you understand how to do such things a bit better, but as olsos2er says, you can add a ppa repo to do it the easy way, I just thought you might find this info useful for future use.

This is the file that I have on my Desktop:- OOo_3.2.0_Linuxlntel_install_wJRE_en-US_deb.tar.gz I have tried double clicking it, right clicking and trying to open with Archive Manager, 'Extract Here' and each time I get 'An error occurred while loading the archive', so I am still confused.

Could the file have become corrupted during the download process? Kind regards. Last edited by L Campbell; February 15th, 2010 at 06:15 PM.
