What I’ve install so far on my fresh Ubuntu 9.04 install.
- NVIDIA drivers – Drivers for NVIDIA video card
- VLC – Media player
- Gnome Do – App launcher (like Mac’s Quicksilver and Win’s Launchy)
- CompizConfig Settings Manager – Config for visual effects
- VirtualBox – Virtualisation software
- Adobe AIR and TweetDeck – Twitter client
I’m sure this list will get longer before the day is done. Does anyone have any recommendations?
This morning I’ve been setting up a fresh install of Windows on a new HD. I’ve been setting up Windows a lot lately, so I thought I’d create a checklist of the things I usually do when I first login.
- Install hardware drivers – motherboard, network, video, sound
- Install service packs and updates
- Avast! – anti virus
- Firefox – web browser
- Install add-ons: Firebug, Web Developer, Twitterfox, Ubiquity, Delicious
- Launchy – app launcher
- Notepad++ – Notepad replacement
- 7-Zip – archiver
- Filezilla – FTP
- Keepass – password manager
- DropBox – file sync
- Change the orange flower user picture to something less girly
