Hi Marty.

If you open your system menu you should be able to find the Package Manager. It may also be called Synaptic. If you click on it it may ask for a password and then let you search for software. If you input gnugo in the search box in the top you should be able to find an entry. Select it and click to apply the changes.

Afterwards an entry for GNU Go should appear in your system menu, ready to play.

You'll notice GNU Go runs as text-only, hence Clarks suggestion of other, graphical, software that is more comfortable to play with. But one step at time, tell us if everything goes well.

Sending directly as well as to the list:

The Package Manager will be that, or possibly Muon, Synaptic (as above), or Ubuntu Program Center.

You should find gnugo as an option (under Games, or you might have to search for it).  This should get you a menu item you can use to start gnugo.  This will likely be a text window with gnugo running in it.

Good luck,

Clark
