hey, I just woke my computer up and a box appeared in the center of the bottom of my screen with a lightning bolt and the words 'system at optimum performance' (or something similar). So it looks as if Jupiter is running I just can't control it. On Wed, Nov 30, 2011 at 2:17 PM, Michael Havens

Install it. You should see a lightning bolt icon at the top of your screen you can use that for some basic interaction. The rest is rtfm :-) On Nov 28, 2011 9:02 PM, Michael Havens bmi...@gmail.com wrote: what do I do with jupiter after I download it? On Mon, Nov 28, 2011 at 8:09 AM, Stephen

Thanks for inspiring me. My system is Ubuntu based so first I had to google for converting RPM to deb and I found Alien. So I run alien and it runs successfuly (I think). But no lightning bolt anywhere to be seen! Any ideas what I did wrong? bmike1@Michaels-Presario ~/Programs/Jupiter $ sudo
