Description

Downloads and configures to the user's decision
recommended packages and configurations.
Screenshot

Compatibility:

Ubuntu 10.04
Canonical has done some "nice" things. You'll have to enable the new Canonical repo for some of this to work. To fix this eventually I'm just going to have the script detect whether this is a Debian based distro or an Ubuntu based distro and completely change what the user can see.

Download

Dowload FYM Script Version 1.1 (04/23/10)

Instructions

I also recommend enabling as many parts of your repository as possible. For example, in Debian adding contrib and non-free and Ubuntu adding universe and multiverse.
The above can be accomplished via editing /etc/apt/sources.list OR via Synaptic Package Manager in the drop down menu Settings->Repositories
