Ubuntu Server Guide

Ubuntu has a storage management software and install software. Find out what it is and what it means for your Linux system.

If you're new to Ubuntu, you've probably heard this word "store", and are not sure what that means or what it is. Most Linux distributions have a system repository. Find out what it is and how it benefits you.

The best way to think about repositories is as the applications store. If you used the iPhone, it is similar principles. There is a group of applications that are approved and maintained by the company. This means that you have a body of software that is sure to work on your Ubuntu installation. It makes installing software on your system much easier.

One advantage of this is that you do not have to manually install your own software. Several years ago, Linux users will have to compile the source code. This is some work in the terminal that the majority of users, especially new users, they did not want to do. Now you can easily search the Synaptic package manager and click software to install. All compositions are thousands of pieces of software is done for you.

Another advantage is that the software is safe. Because the human looked unlikely that the software is malicious files that could harm your system. You can install any software from the repository, without having to worry about any of your computer's security.

In Ubuntu, there are a number of repositories that each do different things. The first application that keeps Ubuntu itself. These are the ones that are updated frequently and is guaranteed to work. There is another set using some code that is not entirely free software. It is free to use, but some of the code can be proprietary which some Linux users dislike.

There are also third party applications, you can use. You should not give any problems, but from time to time, especially after Ubuntu update, some will not work temporarily, but it's generally not a problem.
