What U should install to your Ubuntu 6.10 Edgy Eft (Beginning Chapter)
Maybe you already notice after installing ubuntu, there will be some app to install but what?, guess this explanation will work for you guys.. cheers
1.You will notice when u first install ubuntu to your PC it wont play any mp3 files, so i suggest you should install mplayer or xmms, each have their own plus,
code :
$ sudo apt-get install xmms or $ sudo apt-get install mplayer
2.Now for those who love design and often to use Adobe or Corel you might wonder would they go on my ubuntu ? the answer is yes and no, why no, that’s because you might notice that all files ended by *.exe (M$ ext) wont run on ubuntu, so you might consider for another replacement for those apps, i suggest you to install inkscape (corel like) and gimp (photoshop like),
code:
$ sudo apt-get install inkscape and $ sudo apt-get install gimp ,
now for the yes answer, cek out on point 3.
3.Since *.exe wont work, now you feel like in a small box, but wait, not all is true, you still can execute the *.exe ext with one condition, you must install emulatior for window$. Now, many can make *.exe run on ubuntu, just like this one app that called “wine”. The fact is wine doesn’t use any of M$ lib or M$ code they just simply port *.exe to your ubuntu.
code:
$ sudo apt-get install wine
4.Now, how about reading, ebooks n stuff, don’t sweat it, you can still all your activities. Now, there are xchm (chm reader), xpdf (pdf reader), Open Office writer (doc reader, but i guess in the first installation it already available).
code:
$ sudo apt-get install xchm xpdf
5.What about for 3D design-er, you might consider blender for your exchange with 3Ds Max.
code:
$ sudo apt-get install blender
This guide i implement on Edgy Eft but, i don’t think it would be a problem by implementing them to Feisty Fawn, but Remember to change / find repo list for Feisty Fawn too.
