New to Ubuntu.. but better late than never

After a day long fight with installing the latest version of Ubuntu .. finally I'm up and ready .. and running !!! (though very tired to run actually ) :P

Installing Racket v5.1.1
post downloading the file-racket(i86_64).sh ,
run
change permissions - chmod +x  of the file
./file.sh
 
then its asking certain options which are :


Do you want a Unix-style distribution?
  In this distribution mode files go into different directories according
  to Unix conventions.  A "racket-uninstall" script will be generated
  to be used when you want to remove the installation.  If you say 'no',
  the whole Racket directory is kept in a single installation directory
  (movable and erasable) unit, possibly with convenient external links
  into it -- this is often more convenient, especially if you want to
  install multiple versions or keep it in your home directory.
Enter yes/no (default: no) >

I say NO.

Then .. it asks ,
Where do you want to base your installation of Racket v5.1.1?
  (Use an existing directory.  If you've done such an installation in
   the past, either use the same place, or manually run
   'racket-uninstall' now.)
  1 - /usr/... [default]
  2 - /usr/local/...
  3 - ~/... (/home/dhall/...)
  4 - ./... (here)
  Or enter a different directory prefix to install in.
>

Then, whichever options I enter.. It doesn allow me to install it ..
it says

Error: cannot write to "/usr/local".  (or for that matter any option I enter. )


SO THE SOLUTION IS .. .to use sudo ./file.sh  !!!
then choose
YES
and 1 respectively
after which it asks
Do you want to install new system links within the bin, lib, include,
man, and doc subdirectories of "/usr", possibly overriding
existing links?
you say YES..


downloaded !!! :D

"The first ingredient of political stability is an informed citizen. The first ingredient of economic progress is a skilled
worker. And the first ingredient of social justice is an enlightened society. Education is thus the key to global peace and
prosperity”- Kofi Anan

Good evening young munners.

It gives me great pleasure to welcome the new Muners in our society as well as a very warm welcome to my old team members who hav been a great support and amazing team in the last session.

Though MUN can seem intimidating, be it your first or your tenth conference experience, the key to success is good preparation.

As delegates, it is your prerogative, your right, to be on top of your subject and understand diplomacy in the true sense of the term. You will be faced with several situations which will test your knowledge of the issue at hand, as well as your negotiating and debating skills. One, who strikes the perfect balance between maintaining his /her foreign policy and compromising in order to attain a larger goal, will be rewarded.

As the Youth of Today and the leaders of tomorrow the gun is upon us to focus on solving the greatest problems that the World faces today through constructive debate and deliberations by Students from all over the world.

And as my friend here puts it, This is in order to be more able and more literate in the political scenario !!

If the United Nations does not attempt to chart a course for the world's people in the first decades of the new millennium, who will? 

I'd like to end my speech with the words of the honorable former Secretary General of the United Nations, Sir Kofi Anan :

More than ever before in human history, we share a common destiny. We can master it only if we face it together. And that, my friends, is why we have the United Nations.

Thank you.. 

regards,

Rishabh Dhall
