Personally, I like to save a bit of "sudo" by doing "sudo su -" first,
to get a root login, and then just typing commands without the sudo stuff.
Make sure you have updated your repository lists ("apt-get update").
Then try a search ("apt-cache search gtkterm") - maybe it has a slightly
different name on your distro.

Yes, but that number doesn't matter much - don't worry about it.

Use "whoami" to confirm that.
Also use "ls -l /dev/ttyUSB*" to confirm that the group you want is
"dialout" - distros vary on the details.
Note that you need to log out, then log in again, in order for the new
group membership to take effect.
