Learning Ubuntu #5 - Flash, Gnome Terminal

1. After looking around at options to get flash working, I decided to try opening a terminal window, and then I ran "sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer". I shutdown firefox, restarted it, and it worked like a charm. Too easy! I loved it.
2. Ok, so I am not always in a GUI, I like a command line. So far, gnome-terminal seems fine, but I disliked the fact that it always opened a small terminal. I wanted to resize the terminal to a larger initial size. I had already dragged a launcher out to the Gnome panel, and it turns out all you need to do is right button the launcher, click properties, and change the command to read "gnome-terminal --geometry=150x60", and presto, nice 150 wide * 60 line terminal. Nice.
