### FAQ
1. Why doesn't the Linux console render __lines__ correctly on __Ubuntu__?
- You need to install the `ncurses-base` package and the `ncurses-term` package
2. Why doesn't the Linux console render __lines__ correctly through __Putty__?
- After loggin in, you need to set the environment variable TERM to "linux":
```sh
$ export TERM="linux"
```
- Otherwise, to automate it, in the Putty config options, under Connection->Data there is a setting called "Terminal-type string". You can set your TERM there to "linux" and putty instructs SSH to set that environment variable
3. How can I paste from clipboard?
- If your favorite keyboard/mouse shortcut doesn't work, try SHIFT+INS
