Q. My primary computer is my Macbook pro (OSX), and I need to access my Linux Desktop. I used Teamviewer before, when my Desktop ran Xp, but i changed to Ubuntu. Is there any other reliable (preferably free) program that can fill in for this?
A. You want to take a look at VNC {Virtual Network Computing}, which is a protocol that allows a desktop to be viewed & remotely controlled over the internet. It is available in free Open Source versions as well as some that are not free.
From your question it sounds like you want to set up the VNC server on the system running Ubuntu and use a VCN client on your Macbook to interact with it.

How to get wireless Internet on Linux ?
Q. So I just installed Linux and erased windows vista and all my files with it. Now I'm at my linux desktop and can't connect to my wifi network. When I go to the networks icon over the wireless option it cant be selected and says "device not ready (firmware missing). I've looked through the software center for drivers but I can't install them because the only button says "use this source" and when clicked does nothing.
So if someone could help me get on the Internet on it.

A. Missing firmware is typical of broadcom 43XX chipsets, but there are ways to get it.

How do I only allow a web browser to come up when booting my linux computer? No taskbar, just browser?
Q. I would like to put together a linux desktop for my grandparents - and figure if I can have the system boot only to a web browser like mozilla it would make it a lot more friendly for them since they wouldn't have a bunch of other things on the screen. That way they can get to their email and check their stocks. Is there a simple way to do this with KDE or Gnome? Thanks!!
A. You want to set your default startup runlevel to, instead of starting up a login process, start up a shell as a particular user (your grandparents' userid). Their shell initialization script should start up X, and then respawn or shutdown when X exits. Their initialization script for X can then start up selected processes (such as web browser), and you can configure their desktop so that the display is bare bones, with no taskbars visible.
