    Ultamatix

    The Ultamatix package sounds great. Where can I get an installer for 8.10?

    thanks, rick

    I generally would advise against installing Ultimatix. This also used to be the forum policy, but I'm not sure if it's since changed.

    What do you want to install it for?

    Yes its kind of fallen out of favor here ever since medibuntu and the ubuntu-restricted-extras package.

    Ultamatix is not a good idea, and not at all necessary.

    What are you want to use it for? We should be able to point you in the direction of anything you need.

    Try ubuntu tweak instead. I find it easier to use and a lot less apt to break your OS.

    Re: Ultamatix

    Against forum policy? are we talking about the same thing sir? "Ultamatix" not "Ultimatix."


    What i want to use it for is the 100 or so applications it has to offer.

    Ultamatix is based on the older Automatix, which was a badly coded mess, and quite capable of breaking your system.

    What i want to use it for is the 100 or so applications it has to offer.
    Auto/Ultamatix were designed to try and deal with some limitations that Ubuntu had a few years ago. Those limitations no longer exist. Most of those applications are available in the normal repos, and most of the ones that aren't (eg: Google Earth, Skype) are available from the Medibuntu repository.

    Re: Ultamatix

    they probably aren't the same things but generally, anything outside the supported repos can and do break systems and that makes it harder to help you fix things after they do break so generally apps like Automatrix and ultimatix are frowned upon.

    what's the difference between an answer and a solution? An answer is what they want to hear, a solution is what they don't want to hear
