File Sharing utilities, browsers, email clients, network monitors and various security tools such as antivirus and network intrusion detectors will make you networking and internet experience like never before.

FedoMATIX also has built in support for installing Google softwares like earth, gadgets, picasa. It also installs a Document reading related Plugin pack and other tweaks and tools like Flickr foto uploadrs, feed readers and many more.

    I support Linux 100% and think Fedora is great but I feel that people should make an objective decision for themselves after reading The Truth about Linux.

  • Anon

    Are you doing all of this via RPMs and repositories?

  • http://digitizor.wordpress.com dkd903

    @ANon, ya most of them are via the livna and fedora repos axcepta afew like Limewire, Google Earth, jUploadr and some more are first downloaded using wget and then installed appropriately.

  • Linux User

    Cool stuff, dkd903

    I suggest you dump Limewire for its open source counter part called Frostwire.

  • http://blogs.globaltek.pt/rui.gouveia/ Rui Gouveia

    Sim.
    Boa ideia. Mas já tinham conhecimento deste?

    http://code.google.com/p/desktop-cherry/

    Foi iniciado por mim, desde o Fedora 8. Funciona de forma análoga.

  • http://blogs.globaltek.pt/rui.gouveia/ Rui Gouveia

    My apologies,

    Wrong language. Translation follows.

    Yes. God idea. But do you know this one?

    http://code.google.com/p/desktop-cherry/

    It was started by me, since the Fedora 8 release, and it follows the same principles.

  • http://digitizor.wordpress.com dkd903

    @LinuxUser: Thanks for your suggestions, Frostwire will be included in the forthcoming version of fedomatix, Limewire will still be there :-)

    hey dkd903,

    I like the idea of this piece of software, so I was thinking of contributing as much to it. As I see and have many friends who are new to linux and would like to have this program. I know bash script and I have already looked at the source files, and I think I would be able to contribute a little at least by adding new programs and other stuff to it. But the problem is, this is the first time I’m attempting to write code for a realistic program, and I have no previous experience on how to commit changes and all that. I was wondering if you could get me started. I would be really grateful. If you agree to help me get started, please email me at [ feng.shaun at gmail dot com ]

    thanks!

    hi, good informative site

  • http://free-antivirus-downloads-shape.blogspot.com/ shahadin

    I have had Automatix kill Ubuntu before (failed to upgrade properly).
    Ubuntu-Restricted-Extras metapackage contains mp3, flash, java, gstreamer codecs, mstfcorefonts, and much more.
    If metapackages solve this newbie problem, what problem is automatix solving? And is Automatix creating more problems than it solves?

  • http://digitizor.wordpress.com dkd903

    @shahadin, the automatix project has been discontinued :-)

    good site and good information

    On your place I would not do it.
