Hi . . . there are so many ways of adding programs to Kubuntu. One of my
favorite ways it to use automatix at:http://www.getautomatix.com/
It will install Swift Fox . . . but from it you can also load hundreds of
programs you might need. Of course it is nothing you cannot do yourself but
it can save time and effort. Note that some of the codecs might not be
strictly legal in the USA . . . or so they claim. I to learn as many ways of
installing programs as I can. That can lead me into trouble at times but it
is fun learning and the support is great. Just try getting support like this
with XP or Vista!
