Services can be configured by clicking System -> Administration -> Services. Services on Ubuntu are managed in a broadly similar way to those on Red Hat. More technical information about Debian-style packaging can be found in Basics of the Debian package management system and the Debian New Maintainers' Guide. Some of the information in this table was derived (with permission) from APT and RPM Packager Lookup Tables.

The dpkg command is used instead.īelow is a table of equivalent commands for package management on both Ubuntu/Debian and Red Hat/Fedora systems. Note that, unlike yum, apt-get is only for packages available in repositories - it cannot handle packages you have already downloaded. Ubuntu uses apt-get instead of yum, up2date and so on to find, download, and install packages and their dependencies. Press System -> Administration -> Synaptic Package Manager to start Synaptic. The Synaptic package Manager is an excellent tool for finding, fetching and installing packages. As with Fedora, graphical applications will put a link into the Applications menu. Ubuntu has more packages available than Fedora, so you'll have a better chance of finding what you want in the repositories. Graphical admin tools prompt for this password when run, and command line tools can be run with root-privileges using sudo. Users in the admin group can run command line and graphical applications with elevated privileges. In Ubuntu, each user only has one password. In Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Fedora by default, each administrative user needs to know the root password, in addition to their own password. The key differences between them are covered in this article.
It is easy to apply your existing knowledge of Red Hat Enterprise Linux or Fedora to Ubuntu.
