This is actually the second part of Brad Linder's tutorial as posted in Download Squad. It is also the second tutorial on installing program in this blog. The first, Installing Programs on the Asus Eee PC, was posted earlier.

There are three ways to install applications on the Eee PC.You can use the apt-get command in a terminal window.

  1. You can download, uncompress, and install applications manually using a terminal. But it's not user friendly at all.
  2. You can use the Synaptic package manager which is a graphical interface for apt-get.
Brad's tutorial covers the last one, which is actually the recommended method. But before you use the Synaptic package manager you need to enable Full Desktop Mode. (See previous post, Enabling Full Desktop Mode in Asus Eee PC.)
