Things to do after a "fresh" install of Ubuntu 11.10

Also, there are nice notes at techdrivein.com

Update!

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade


Restricted extras

Media formats etc.

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras


Compiz config settings manager

sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager

Enable GetDeb ppa

Provides fresher versions for certain apps (might be less stable, but fix some bugs).

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:getdeb
sudo apt-get update

XBMC media center

It is like MythTV, good for HTPC use.

At the moment there is no stable version for 11.10 in the xmbc ppa, but there is another place to get it:

sudo add-apt-repository ...
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install xbmc
