Welcome to IWETHEY!

New Here ya go.
[link|http://www.getautomatix.com/wiki/index.php?title=Installation#Installing_Automatix|Installing Automatix].

I'm not sure what it'll get you that K -> System -> Adept Manager Manage Packages doesn't do, though. Perhaps Drew can elaborate.

Cheers,
Scott.
New Huh, forgot it wasn't just an install
What it gets is a ton of codecs. I haven't used Adept, so can't compare the two.

New I read somewhere that automatix is bad...
...as is easy-ubuntu (which does a similar thing).

I can't remember why, though. I'd not rush off and install it until I'd researched the downsides.

*googlism*

Hmm. The Automatix people feel the need to point out that Automatix is perfectly safe. This leads me to believe that it isn't. Why bring it up if it's safe?

OK, some negative stuff about Automatix, on the basis that forewarned is forearmed:

[link|http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1949852|Flash failing to install.] I've been here. It's a bug in the preinst script, and you need ruby-fu to fix it.

New Because once-upon-a-time it wasn't...
Haven't had problems w/Automatix - but I had no problems w/EasyUbuntu, either. I think Automatix might install more schtuff, tho.

Imric's Tips for Living
  • 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.

You wouldn't know what normal was if it rode into town on the normal express, kicked down your door with its size normal boots, danced into your living room wearing nothing but the word "normal" and sang "normality is here again" on your dining room table whilst dancing the foxtrot.
