This process may seem cumbersome, but remember that the Westminster Computer Lab is a Linux-based computer lab, and there may be cost, licensing, or other technical issues related to installing proprietary software in the Westminster Computer Lab. Installing '''open-source software''' is the easiest and least costly method of installing application software for this computer lab.

The Westminster Computer Lab has a mind-mapping application called '''Freemind'''. You can use this application to ''create'', ''print'', or ''publish'' your mind map on the Internet. To launch  == Obtaining Freemind Application == You can easily install the Freemind application in Ubuntu Linux... If you want to learn more about how to use the Synaptic Package Manager to install software on a Ubuntu Linux computer system or '''install the Freemind applicationon your Ubuntu computer''', you make click the following menu selectionslink:  [[Install Applications in Ubuntu]]  You can also download and install in other Operating Systems<br />('''APPLICATIONS → OFFICE → Freemindincluding MS Windows''') [http://freemind.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Download http://freemind.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Download]
