Ultamatix is a graphical interface for automating the installation of the most commonly requested applications in Ubuntu Ultimate Edition / Debian and Ubuntu based Linux operating systems.

Ultamatix is a pick up and virtually entire re-write of "Automatix".

What it is:

- Software installation where it does not exist (repo / license / 0 user knowledge required)
- Choice of free software or otherwise.
- Automation of the above
- Choice of what you would like installed (you build your own O/S)

What it is not:

- Software that accepts the license agreement for you.

Yes, we all knew that sooner or latter this would happen...

We got a Linux based ASUS Eee PC! :)

To convert a video to the Flash Video format, use the mencoder command like this:

mencoder {SOURCE_VIDEO} -o {OUTPUT_VIDEO}.flv -of lavf -oac mp3lame -lameopts abr:br=56 -srate 22050 -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=flv:vbitrate=500:mbd=2:mv0:trell:v4mv:cbp:last_pred=3 -lavfopts i_certify_that_my_video_stream_does_not_use_b_frames

This assumes you have the lamemp3 libs installed and that the output video rate shoud be 500k (good for web content).

This works fine on Ubuntu 7.04 (and probably any other system with mencoder installed).

UPDATE:
A complete article, entitled "Installing Popular Applications On Your Ubuntu Desktop With Automatix2," is available at HowToForge.com.

Firefox is a graphical web browser developed by the Mozilla Corporation. On some instalations, the IPV6 options is active, resulting on a very slow DNS resolution, and therefore web pages take a lot of time to load (the "Resolving www.example.com" takes loads of time).

To fix it, try this:

Bring up your browser and at the address line enter about:CONFIG and push the ENTER button and then below the address line you will see a FILTER line. At the filter line enter IPV6 and this will bring up the following line.

Network.dns.disableIPV6 and the VALUE will be FALSE

Double click on the FALSE VALUE and that will change the VALUE to TRUE.

Hope this helps!
