how to install programs and pluggins in one place

[whorush at comcast.net]

hi everyone, i'm a sort of newbie and i'm trying to install the programs that i'm used to from MS and i've been having a really hard time navigating the documentation, it seems like stuff is a bit scattered.

i want suggest a link under the Documentation heading here, https://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/FrontPage

it could be called Install Programs and Pluggins

in there we'd have all the standards flash, java, mplayer, mp3 support, realplayer, etc.

we might want something indicating whether its free or non-free.

I think this is useful, it seems like a lot of pages try to do too much like, https://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/FrequentlyAskedQuestions

this way, we'd have all installs, supported and non-supported under one roof.  i think this would make it easier to find out how to install something and it would help unclutter other stuff.

i was going to suggest that we could start by making the page and then looking through the wiki and moving stuff into it.

i'm new to this gig, so i couldnt lead such a project but i'd love to help if you guys think this is worth while.

what do you all think?
