At least, not to someone who hasn't seen all those names before. I understand that helping someone who "has no clue" may be frustrating, but can we please tone the thread down a bit? Some times, newbies tend to ask "silly" things. Let's reply with the things they are missing and where they can learn more, shall we? :-) Dave, as I'm typing this on a laptop, I'm installing a new desktop system with Debian "etch". These names refer to packages which you can install to supplement your basic Ubuntu installation with extra libraries which Emacs can use to compile as a GUI application for the X11 desktop. You can list many of the packages available for Debian and Ubuntu by using the "apt-cache" utility: # apt-cache search 'xaw' Try the command for each name you don't understand, or even for parts of the name, and look at the output apt-cache produces. If you don't understand what each package does, look up the name of the package on `www.debian.org'. The online package listing at debian.org contains a wealth of information for each package. - Giorgos
