Post-install tips for Ubuntu 7.04

Matthew Newton of PC World has written a helpful article on seven post-install tips for Ubuntu 7.04.

While they’re not all relevant to me, I confess I hadn’t heard of Automatix. This is an application which allows you to add additional components and codecs to your Ubuntu installation, which will give your system much better multimedia support.

Matthew also points out, quite correctly, how useful the “Add/Remove Programs” option is. If you don’t have a specific application installed that you need, this program will connect to the relevant site, download the software, and install it for you. This is much better than the similarly named option on Windows XP.
