My experience with the Automatix always was the best possible one. It allows you to do a lot of things in a simple and easily way, without any bigger concerns. Already I tried the EasyUbuntu but some time ago and I would not know to say how well it behaves nowadays, in its recent incarnations. I agree with you about the "RestrictedFormats" advice, something to be seriously considered. But as you already had made this alert (about RestrictedFormats) I decided to go ahead and suggest the evaluation of Automatix. At the end it is a matter of users choice! <div>On 1/22/07, Mario Vukelic <<a href="mailto:mario.vukelic@dantian.org">mario.vukelic@dantian.org</a> > wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">On Sun, 2007-01-21 at 23:39 -0300, Antonio Fonseca wrote: > > I suggest that you try Automatix 2 ( <a href="http://www.getautomatix.com">http://www.getautomatix.com</a>) and > install multimedia codecs, media players and plug-ins for the Firefox > using it. I suggest he doesn't, that's why I gave the RestrictedFormats link. Automatix is a pain: <a href="http://www.netsplit.com/blog/articles/2006/10/30/automatix-and-upgrading">http://www.netsplit.com/blog/articles/2006/10/30/automatix-and-upgrading</a> Following the advice in RestrictedFormats is safer and one even learns something. If it has to be an automated Tool, EasyUbuntu behaves better than Automatix: <a href="https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EasyUbuntu">https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EasyUbuntu</a> -- ubuntu-users mailing list <a href="mailto:ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com</a> Modify settings or unsubscribe at: <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users </a> </blockquote></div> -- ANTONIO FONSECA <a href="http://antoniofonseca.wordpress.com/">http://antoniofonseca.wordpress.com/</a>
