Useful package for Ubuntu - ubuntu-restricted-extras
I just happened across this package today - and while I had pretty much everything already installed it is a handy way to add some of the essential packages which cannot be distributed in the main Ubuntu distribution due to licensing issues.
It installs the following:
- Flash Player 9
- Sun Java 6.0 runtime and browser plugin
- Microsoft Core Fonts - Arial, Verdana etc
- GStreamer Video Codecs
Installing is as simple as:
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
or search for it in Synaptic. Cheers, Mark
