Link here: http://rute.2038bug.com/index.html.gz It is also available in the ubuntu repositories, look for it in either the software store (I forget the exact name, I mostly use KDE) or in synaptic. Copy and paste this in a web browser to read it /usr/share/doc/rutebook/html/rute.html Another good read for Ubuntu is the Ubuntu Pocket book. you can get it here: http://www.ubuntupocketguide.com/index_main.html or from any bittorrent app. Of course there is always the ubuntu forums at http://ubuntuforums.org/ and the ubuntu user mailing list https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users Lots and lots of good information there, should keep you busy for a while :) -- Alan "We the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution."
