Ubuntu Enhancemnts
Hey guys, I just downloaded Ubuntu.
I am a newbie and I loved the installation of Ubuntu onto my Virtual PC, and I see that it will be great to install. But before I commit to installing it to my PC, i was wondering what kinda enhancements can I install to get the most out of linux, for instance WINE? I will be duel booting so I guess I should use that. What else should I consider downloading. PS. Right now im working on getting my Netgear WG111v2 to work in Ubuntu. The thing about that is that I need to download all of the ieee80211 modules and compile them. But to do that I need the linux source, so im working on getting them. I hope this is all worth it. |
Wine works (not on all programs, but it's good), I use a netgear router on my computer, If you don't like gnome you can install KDE (hence making it Kubuntu) and for a bunch of programs you can install, look at the Add/Remove option under applications. There is also the synaptic package manager that has lots of things you can get off your CD/the internet. Of course, if you burned the DVD iso for Ubuntu, don't worry about the package manager, everything is on there. What printer do you use?

Sorry, no printer yet, im working on my laptop. Im actually planning on get a new color laser printer. A samsung one.

Ok-just keep away from Lexmark printers, they pretty much don't work on Linux (first hand experience)
