This is a quickand very effective way to beef up your (K)Ubuntu installation. Basically the list below contains most of my favouirite (K)Ubuntu applications complete with their code libraries. The name "Goosebuntu" is not entirely serious – it is just a name we coined in the office. However the following apps will turn a standard Kubuntu installation into something really rather special. This list is primarily for Kubuntu users though it may be applied to other Ubuntu flavours. If the application is already installed, then no matter, the system will just ignore that application.
Applications from normal repositories
This assumes you have all the usual repositories enabled, that is the main, restrricted, multiverse and universe repositories for your particular version (e.g feisty, gutsy) of Kubuntu. This is probably easiest done in a package manager such as Adept or Synaptic.
You also can use a package manager to select and install these applications. However this is an example of where using the Linux Terminal could actually be quicker. To make things easier for you, I have listed the files in a format that can easily be copied and pasted to your Termanal window for installation.
To use the clipboard commands (copy & paste) in a Terminal, right click in the Terminal Window and select the command from the popup menu. If you copy and paste my lists then please make sure the list includes the install command "apt-get install" together with "sudo" – the command that makes you the "root user" temporarily. I.E.. the part that reads."sudo apt-get install"
