Ubuntu Preferences

This is how I use Ubuntu… if you mind?

Things to do after a fresh Ubuntu 10.04 install

Remove unwanted software

Remove Mono

sudo apt-get purge libmono* libgdiplus cli-common libglitz-glx1 libglitz1

source

Replacements: F-spot → gThumb, Tomboy → gNote, Empathy −> Pidgin

sudo apt-get install gthumb gnote pidgin

Nothing to do with Mono but I don't use Gwibber or Empathy either

sudo apt-get purge gwibber empathy

Add a list of useful repos

Medibuntu - because the notion of property is not the same all over the world. Thank god.

Ubuntuzilla - for the latest stable mozilla builds

deb.opera.com - because I do webdesign

http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner - needed for Sun-java6, a requirement of Processing

sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner" sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin sudo update-alternatives --config java

http://lgp203.free.fr/ubuntu/ (Don't remember why I had this one in my previous Ubuntu install. It's just here for decoration. Will see what to do with it.)
