I think there is similiar thing as 'urpmi' for mandriva, which is global repository of packages, which you can install just from command line… or just google rpm and ubuntu

hey mate.

from the terminal type:

sudo synaptic

From there you just tick what you want and it installs it and its dependencies.

I think there's synpatic software manager in your administration/system menu… but most of applications that you need are already in included in your installation :) btw which version of ubuntu your going to install?

Yeah Synaptic Package Manager is located System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager

No need to do it via terminal anymore.

Anyway, on the left of the manager click the specifier and a listing of the available applications will come up. It's as easy as that !

Awesome

I played around with making linux firewalls and penetrating with backtrack in a lab, but never actually got round to putting linux on one of my computers.

Putting on the new ubuntu on 8.4 i thinks.
