What is the first things you do after fresh install?

[bartos]

Just wondering what software and tweaks everyone does after a fresh installation.
The servers were too busy today to do any real software installs.

I played with Unity because This is my first time using it. Got nvidia drivers installed for my dual monitors.( can't set a different wallpaper on each yet.) http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1966006.

12.04 boots up very quick. Found some sites that suggest tweaks after fresh 12.04 install.
Will try installing software tomorrow and my conky.

So what did you do and will be doing with your shiny 12.04?

The very first thing I do is open a terminal and install mc, aptitude and synaptic. I then remove the Software Centre, UbuntuOne and LibreOffice Impress icons from the launcher. Once that is done. I install all of the packages I use that aren't included in the default install. It usually works out to an extra 2-300 packages.

I do any updates, then get codecs and any apps I regularly use. Done. Nothing special really.

I do this exact thing except I don't use mc.

Do you smoke after a fresh install?

I don't know. I've never looked.

Install all updates, install proprietary drivers, install codecs, install Sun/Oracle Java (or Java 7), add Chromium and Synaptic, change background, change Unity bar behavior to auto-hide.
