Re: Automatix2 or not

There has been some recommendations to use Automatix2 for installing
packages, such as java, flash, and others, from the users list, not to
mention sites like 'The unofficial Ubuntu Site'. Some say that it may
cause problems with dependency's . Others say it's ok if the package
doesn't contain dependency's. Is this true?

If true, and your new to Ubuntu such as myself, how do you know which
packages use dependency's and which don't?

If you want to better control what is on your computer, add the packages
yourself!
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MultimediaApplications
Between those two links, you can probably do most things that Automatix
would do for you. In most cases, if there is something that you want,
then there are instructions somewhere on how to get it.

If you just want things put on your computer without having to take time
to learn how to do it yourself, automatix will speed things up. You
might want to go through some of the other conversations on the subject.
Just put this in google: automatix site:lists.ubuntu.com
