[QUOTE="dazcaz, post: 1027239, member: 131276"] Is there a way to share programs between users on the same laptop? It's running Ubuntu 9.10 with all the latest updates. The laptop is an ex Windows acer. I have two users set up. One is the main account and the other is for mobile use in my motorhome. I have a program that I would like to use on both the mobile and main accounts. I can't seem to find a way of doing this without installing it twice, and I'd rather not do this as it would take up drive space. Is there a way of allowing a program to be run by two users without installing it twice? I have asked on the Ubuntu forum but it instantly got buried by a deluge of other posts, and I have received no replies :( TIA Darren [/QUOTE]
