    Default Things to do after installing Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat



    A freshly installed Ubuntu is like a small baby, it will learn only if it is taught, likewise Ubuntu initially lacks video and audio codecs and the style, word processors, photo applications and many useful tools. It is good when you tweak and install the softwares you need and upgrade the user interface. I am going to show you the possible software and features you will be needing :

    Note:- The commands used should be typed in the Terminal. (To open terminal go to Applications–>Accessories–> Terminal or press Ctrl+Alt+T). And you will also need Internet connection.

    1. Update your system

    sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get full-upgrade

    Now all your programs will run on the last version.

    2. Anti-Virus

    Windows equivalent : AVG AntiVirus, NAV, TrendMicro, F-Prot, Kaspersky

    Ubuntu equivalent : ClamAV, Avast

    ClamAV

    sudo apt-get install clamav clamtk

    Access it through System Tools → Virus Scanner

    Avast

    wget http://files.avast.com/files/linux/a...3.0-2_i386.deb && sudo dpkg -i avast4workstation_1.3.0-2_i386.deb

    Access it through Accessories → avast! Antivirus

    3. Essential tools for Compiling from Sources

    sudo apt-get install build-essential checkinstall cdbs devscripts dh-make fakeroot libxml-parser-perl check avahi-daemon

    4. Java runtime environment

    Java is a very important thing to install, now that many programs like Azureus need it to run. So type:

    sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin equivs
