If you try that, you'll probably find that it is very easy in use, even easier than the Windows .exe's. Your comments on the names have been taken into account, we will explicitly note that it is a codename at the site. Please bear in mind that e.g. <a href="http://download.com" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)"> download.com</a> is not by Microsoft, it is a third party site. Also, installing Automatix by default might bring legal issues, the same as installing proprietary codecs by default. </blockquote></div> I am not comfortable with endorsements of automatix or other 3rd party installers on <a href="http://xubuntu.org">xubuntu.org</a> as they may cause problems for inexperienced users. They can still be found on the forums by those who really look for them. We get enough spurious (non-Xfce or strictly xubuntu) bugs in LP, I would not want to get signal/noise even lower by getting reports about broken packages only to find out it's due to the system not using only offciial repos. I know that was only a comment above, just want to make sure we don't get 3rd package manager howtos on the official site. thoughts? Jani
