If you don't know how to use Synaptic, buy him two beers... None of this is hard, and you're going to be amazed at how simple and safe installing software in Linux can be.

Thanks capidamonte. I'm glad you said it's easy because all the Ubuntu directives said the same thing and then had like 3 pages of very complicated-looking instructions and screenshots explaining the process. Kind of lost touch with my friend but there are plenty of tutorials. The Ubuntu Software Center is of course simple to use. It's just the programs that are not in it that present the challenge. All I really NEED though is to make sure Sigil will work in Xubuntu. (At least I think that's all I'll need. lol) And (I should have said this in my original post, sorry) I have Xubuntu 13.10 and the Sigil I use is 0.7.2. Will I be able to get the same version from the Richard Gibert repository? I noticed 0.7.4 there. Is 0.7.4 pretty close to 0.7.2?
Anyway I have till April to make the transition. Thanks again for the advice.
