Automatix Is Gone!

[ForksHolder]

Hello,
I heared about Automatix and wanna test it, but the software seems to be gone.

The website is screwed up and no link in the forum works..

Where can i find Automatix?

Thanks,
~ForskHolder.

Could you explain what do you mean with this links?

I don't use Automatix. I don't find it necessary. The links speak for themselves.

Honestly, you don't really need Automatix anymore. Or EasyUbuntu. Or anything similar to them. Ubuntu has tools to install the absolutely vital things which aren't free, like video drivers, and it's far from impossible to find instructions on installing basically everything Automatix did.

On top of that, Automatix wasn't the best piece of software, frankly. I wasn't sad when it ceased development, and I'm still glad it's gone.

Thank God that Automatix is gone. :-)
