There was an article a while back written by one of the Ubuntu devs<br>and he basically said that while Automatix was a great effort, the<br>authors never took the time to work with the Devs to get a stable and<br>secure program. He basically recommended not using it until such time
<br>as the problems were fixed. I'll try and find the link but not sure<br>how I found it to begin with (probably a link of planet).<br><br>In any case, you don't need it anymore. They keep adding new apps but<br>
I think just about all of them can now be added the "proper" way -<br>i.e. with synaptic. The only caveat is the "legally ambiguous" libs<br>which are available from medibuntu.<br><br>Not to toot my own horn but I did a little how to on this. There are
<br>also links to the official how to sites.<br><br><a href="http://nococomp.com/?p=18">http://nococomp.com/?p=18</a><br><br>Jim<br><br>On 10/8/07, Kevin Fries <<a href="mailto:kfries@cctus.com">kfries@cctus.com</a>> wrote:
