This post will mostly serve as a self reminder of stuff I installed on the Ubuntu box in case I for whatever reason need to reinstall everything again. It will always be a work in progress thing.
- VLC
- Dropbox
- Gimp – Too bad Gimpshop is badly maintained, I kinda like the idea.
- CheckGmail
- gFTP
- jDownloader – Install via ppa repository instructions found here.
- Pidgin – Pidgin OTR installed through the repositories as well.
- Skype
- RedNotebook
- NetBeans
- Conky
- Conky-colors
More will be added given enough time. Can’t remember what’s the name of the packages containing restricted codecs, extra themes and some other stuff.
Found the following articles to be of use.
