    MP3 isn't played out of the box as it is illegal in some places. It is as simple as installing a package called ubuntu-restricted-extras; when you can get online that is.

    Did you not try the solution you found for getting online in your other thread?

    My new blog. It's probably not as good as I think it is.

    A .bz2 file is an archive. it is like a zip file. Right click
    and extract. What you do now depends on what's in there.
    Read any README files and other text files like INSTALL

    If it is a ready to install program, there will be a script that you
    execute. If it is source code, the instructions for compiling will
    be there in the README or INSTALL file.

    Ubuntu is definitely an internet oriented operating system.
    Unfair though it may be, software developers are increasingly
    assuming that you have an internet connection.
