Ubuntu 11.04 Setup

So I tried to like ubuntu 11.10, and then I tried xubuntu, then kubuntu 11.10, then I tried linux mint 12. I really liked linux mint 12, but my webcam no longer worked, nor my printer and so I have reverted back to Ubuntu 11.04. Here I will document what I like to do to get a fully loaded computer for my self.

First Add PPAs:
ppa:rawtherapee/ppa (change to Lucid)
ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa
ppa:team-xbmc/unstable
ppa:jd-team/jdownloader

Next install some packages:
chromium-browser
rawtherapee
xbmc
wine1.3
ubuntu-restricted-extras
vlc
sensors-applet
openarena
snes9x-x
dosbox
emacs


skype
download the .deb at http://www.skype.com/intl/en-us/get-skype/on-your-computer/linux/downloading.ubuntu64

dropbox
sudo apt-get install python-gpgme

Next post I will go over the installation of programs that need configuration and/or compiling.
