Communtu - a platform for an easy post-installation of Ubuntu

[KnutHB]

Communtu is a web2.0 internet platform, designed to assist users to easily install a bunch of software after they have installed Ubuntu. The program packages are stored in bundles, which can be installed as metapackages.

If you want to install software which is only available in a repository other than the standard repositories of Ubuntu, Communtu automatically adds the repository to your sources.list and also adds the corresponding GPG-keys.

Moreover, you can not only install already existing bundles on your system - you can create your own bundles and, if you want to, make them available for other users.

Communtu is designed both for users who just installed Ubuntu for the first time and for system administrators who want to install one selection of software on multiple computers.

Currently we are testing a new feature: create your individual Ubuntu-CDs! With this feature it is possible to add your own software selection to the CD and test it as a usual Live-CD and install it as a normal Ubuntu (with the software you have chosen previously).

Communtu is free of charge and can be used without registering.

We also have an IRC-channel on Freenode: #en-communtu .

You need to register?

I can't put my finger on exactly why,but this just seems kinda fishy from someone with just 2 posts.

Agree with the previous posters.

Why on earth would I have to login to download it? Your "guest session" approach sucks.

Hi,

I am a member of Communtu, too.

It is correct that the guest account doesn't work at the moment. Thank you for reporting this bug. We work on a solution of this bug that you don't need to register.

Please try it out and report your impressions and if you find some also bugs too. If you have wishes report it too.

Have fun with Communtu and make your own metapackages with a few clicks.

I looked around there a bit, and I think it is ok.
They have some kind of connection to ubuntuusers.de, which is perfectly ok. It is the (or a) german language ubuntu users site.
The Communtu site also has links to some German sites that they seem to be affiliated with that also look ok.

I had a look at Communtu myself a while back, but was put off by having to register, and couldn't see a real need for it myself, so I can't say if it works well or not.

I think that they genuinely want to try and help new users along on the way to Ubuntu.
