Just so you know, Flash and Java aren't installed in Ubuntu by default, you will need to add them from the Applications->Add/Remove... program. It could be that your website problems have nothing to do with the proxy settings at all.
Also, I encourage you to join the IRC Channel #ubuntu-us-fl, you can do that with the Pidgin Instant Messenger installed in Ubuntu, just create a new IRC account, then got Buddies->Join a Chat to join. - Michael Hall [email protected] On Wed, 2009-09-30 at 23:34 -0400, Chris Crisafulli wrote: > Team, > > I was sent the following: > > Hi Chris, > my name is Logan and I am a newer Linux user but am trying my > hardest to > learn more about everything having to do with the OS and my > computer in > general.
