New Automatix for Dapper and Breezy
For those not in the know, Automatix is a script that auto-installs a whole pile of Handy Stuff to turn your vanilla Ubuntu installation into a fully-operational battle station.

[link|http://tinyurl.com/lcoky|Here's] an Ubuntu Forums post about Automatix (yeah, I know, it's three weeks old). There's detailed info [link|http://tinyurl.com/fv6cu|here] about some of the more involved installations, particularly the multimedia codecs.

New How does it compare to Easyubuntu?
That's what I've been using.

  • Paranoia Is a Survival Trait
  • Pessimists are never disappointed - but sometimes, if they are very lucky, they can be pleasantly surprised...
  • Even though everyone is out to get you, it doesn't matter unless you let them win.


Nothing is as simple as it seems in the beginning,
As hopeless as it seems in the middle,
Or as finished as it seems in the end.
 
 
New No idea
I haven't installed either.

New Re: How does it compare to Easyubuntu?
When I had my b0rked Breezy-to-Dapper upgrade that I was attempting to rescue last week, I hung out in #ubuntu (I think on freenode) for a couple hours. The folks wot were answering questions there highly recommended against Automatix, and suggested EasyUbuntu instead.

I installed Automatix on my Breezy system, and it worked rather nicely. There's a chance that that is what b0rked my upgrade, however. I'm not really looking into it that hard, though.

New Any way to go from vanilla Debian to Ubuntu?
Is it as simple as pointing to a new sources.list?

New Not yet
First I have to fix the one that's [link|/forums/render/content/show?contentid=254544|busted]. Then I'll try the vanilla->Ubuntu on the backup box.
