Repo's

[Billie Walsh]

First:

I have been using OpenSuSE almost exclusively for to years. I decided I 
wanted to see what all the fuss over Ubuntu was about. Not liking Gnome, 
for whatever reason, I decided on Kubuntu. I've been using it 
exclusively for about a month, and have only broken it once [ knock on 
wood ]. Pretty much a record for me on a new OS.

Second:

I'm not much for CLI. I know that may upset many of the purists in the 
Linux Community, but oh well. I'm not a "guru" or a "geek". I'm NOT a 
power user. I don't particularly like to install from source. For some 
reason "tar balls" don't seem to like me very well. I AM probably the 
quintessential home user. So if I can get by on a day to day basis with 
Linux then anyone can.

Third:
In OpenSuSE they have a list of repos that have things that aren't 
included in the release. Some of the things that Linux users aren't 
supposed to be able to use [ BS ]. The listing isn't easy to find, but 
it's there.

Now:

Are there such repos for Kubuntu?

Is there such a listing for Kubuntu?

Reasoning and methodology:

Yesterday I sort of bumped into the same thing that someone else has 
asked about. The MAD-MP3 thing for K3B. It wasn't something that I 
needed for what I was doing at the time but is something I may need in 
the future. I have a project that I started a couple years ago copying 
my old vinyl and burning them onto CD's. It isn't a priority project so 
it's been slow going.

I first went to Adept. There are some MP3 packages available but they 
don't specify if they are the "MAD-MP3" packages. From the description 
given I would think they are, or at least provide the same 
functionality. In one of the posts a CLI command was given [ sudo 
apt-get.... ] that returned a package not found. Next I went to my best 
friend on the web, Google. Found the home page for MAD, or at least what 
looked like the home page. Found a source download. *<[:oP Searched 
through the Kubuntu page and didn't find much. Looked through some of 
the KDE pages and still nothing.

I have managed to get just about everything functioning. A little time 
digging around in Adept found most everything pretty quick. I stumbled 
into the medibuntu site and that helped tremendously.
