I was just trying to give you a kickstart, so you can start fiddling with things and learning right away. If you have questions about Ubuntu or Linux in general, then ubuntuforums.org or linuxquestions.org are probably more appropriate places to ask them, but if you have anything else to ask in the same vein as your initial questions, post them here and I'll do my best.

Thanks again - i think you are dead right - i could go googling.... But what you just provided could have taken me days!

I think im going to literally see which of the above options i can actually install first! - whichever installs first will get my concentration over the next month or so

So far every set of instructions i have tried, even from developer sites doesnt work - normally because i probably havnt understood where or how to do what they are saying

As much as everyone hates microsoft at the way they work - i cant see issues in making things easier to understand!

It is a bit like my bosses at work, they insist on phrasing everything in such a way that people just have no idea what they are saying!
(And i work for the NHS - you would have thought we would be interested in communication skills!)

The one you are using pointed me at a page to download and compile more things?! - and i have downloaded 4 versions from the QT pages - all error-ing with:
Could not display "/home/maemo/Desktop/qt-sdk-linux-x86-opensource-2009.05.bin".

There is no application installed for this file type
(Bin files, changed permissions to allow them to execute - but just getting that!) - wow i never realised how noobish I was! and my job is to advise in IT! lol (Technically no need to use linux or coding advise though



ANyway - will report back soon!
