David, apt is the pack management system for the debian line of distros (including Ubuntu). Google apt-get or aptitude for more information on the utility.
This probably isn't the best list for topics not related to FS (apt is a linux utility) ... but here is a brief rundown: apt-get install make flex patch gcc g++ autoconf automake libtool libncurses5-dev ncurses-dev python-MySQLdb subversion -y cd /usr/src ## DO ONE OF THE FOLLOWING TO GET THE SRC (TRUNK IS BEST FOR NOW -- NO STABLE RELEASE)## svn checkout http://svn.freeswitch.org/svn/freeswitch/trunk freeswitch.trunk or svn checkout http://svn.freeswitch.org/svn/freeswitch/trunk freeswitch cd freeswitch/ ./bootstrap.sh ./configure make make install Type that as you see it on the command line (do sudo -i and type in the root password first). I will say that FS requires some basic knowledge of Linux to get running ... and certainly to manage / maintain. Try digging around for some Ubuntu how to's for some basic info. Hope this helps.
