  1. Hello, I’m Jerry, a beginner to Ubuntu 14.04.
    I want to build a personal blog website through Github. I have read serval blogs about it. But it seems not work to me. I don’t what to do next. Can you teach me? Thank you very much.

  2. when i use the above lines in the terminal to install nitroshare, i get the message: can’t find nitroshare package

  3. How to remove Nitro Share from Ubuntu 15.10? It’s not in the software center.

    • I would recommend Synaptic Package Manager if you want a graphical tool to install/uninstall apps that are not listed in Software Center. You can install it in Ubuntu Software Center.
