Thank you for a great how to. I always use it to setup my ubuntu. I also suggest it to my friends. I was wondering if you would maybe list some applications you remove as a preference. Just to help a noob like me get a idea what is good and what is crap.

Hello,
Great guide, It was very useful to me as i am a beginner/noob w/ubuntu . I think everything did what it was supposed to but i dont see the Google earth icon or anything even relevant to it anywhere on my computer. I am currently running Ubuntu 9.10 on my playstation 3. But I really would like to get Google Earth up and running, thus far to no avail. I have tried numerous ways described on loads of different websites and i !!!NEED!!! major help. If anybody can help me, please e-mail me @ l_dub_ya@yahoo.com. Thanks a million

Nice guide.

Many of these setups are what I do post a fresh install.

The new software center in 9.10 has done a good job IMO of combining the update/upgrade options, but personally I find using the terminal the easiest method.

Thanks for the tutorial.

Nice guide, but what about evince, it takes less resources and does the same job as adobe reader

Hi, thanks for a very good site. I would like to install Adobe Acrobat 7.0 besides Acrobat Reader, is that possible and how do I install it. (I have a win-version)

Thanks!

Hi!
Great guide!

Selecting the best server was a bad choice for me as it effectively prevented me from getting all the stuff I was looking for ie java, flashplayer etc. Once I reset that back to default country (Canada for me) everything ran smoothly.

Thanks

Hey Chris .. another nice piece .. tx

BUT!!

having written a ridiculously substantial Karmic setup piece myself .. Karmic Koala Bible gives a hint

.. i gotta say, i think it’s out of place to recommend apt-get anymore.

aptitude is now installed for first time by default .. why you say apt-get?

(you say tomato .. !)

nonetheless .. thank you, some nice tips
