Is it possible to add a user and restrict him to run special programs? For example after this user logs in, he can only open Firefox to use Internet and no other programs can be run by this user. For example in a terminal, commands will not be accessible when you delete some environment variables like $HOME. But is it possible to avoid running programs in a graphical shell, like Gnome?

I have unity, gnome-shell and xubuntu on my laptop. They all have their favorite preinstalled programs it seems. Do I really need three text editors for example? Could I remove two and just have the other desktops use the one I keep? It seems as though I could get rid of all video playback programs as well and just use vlc for example. Am I going to mess something up? I am new to all this.

I have recently upgraded to Ubuntu 12.04. All the pre-installed software works fine, but some other programs such as Gimp Image Editor, Tuxguitar, and even Terminal have been giving me some issues.

I've only installed two programs from AUR that would have icons, but neither of them use the icons that come with them. I've checked and the icons are installed in /usr/share/icons and the Icon tag is specified in /usr/share/applications/<program-name>.desktop. I'm using GNOME 3, and all I get is the default executable icon with these programs I have installed from the AUR.

I'll change my system from 32 bits to 64 bits, and will be the same I had before, Debian Squeeze, but I do not want to lose the programs I installed before, because I do not remember the name of them all.

Hello, I know that you guys must get asked LOTS of questions on making spins...sorry. I was just wondering if their is a way to make a spin with ALL the same programs install. Now I know that you can add programs to be installed in the kickstart file. But what about programs that aren't in the repos? For example I would like nividia-cuda 5 and svn code::blocks to be part of my spin.
