These questions are asked the most on the #ubuntu IRC channel.

'''How do I install Ati/Nvidia/Ndiswrapper?''':
 Please see the BinaryDriverHowto page

'''Why won't mp3/divx/quicktime/realmedia work?''':
 Please see the RestrictedFormats page

'''When is the next release of Ubuntu?''':
 There is a new release in Ubuntu every april and october

'''Why hasn't package FOO been updated yet, a new version has been out for weeks?''':
 The stable versions of Ubuntu will only get security updates. This means no new versions of packages. The current development version will get updates until 2 months before release. The last two months are spent solely on improving stability

'''What is a pastebin?''':
 A pastebin is a site where you can post large texts and/or images. Pasting a lot of text in the channel is not allowed and will only get you kicked. You can find the Ubuntu pastebin at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org

'''Why was I kicked from #ubuntu?''':
 The rules of #ubuntu are written down at the IrcRules page - these are quite strict at some points but that is neccessary to keep a channel as big as #ubuntu friendly an helpful

'''Can I become an operator?''':
 No. See also the IrcRules page

'''Who is Ubotu? Where can I find more information about the #ubuntu IRC chat? Are there other channels?'''
 Please see the InternetRelayChat page
