====== Ubuntu Linux ======

This will be a collection of notes to remember what to install in what way to build a nice server using Ubuntu Linux. It was tested (in not a very carefull way) with the Gutsy Gibbon release (7.10) of Ubuntu.


===== Hardware =====
  * X - Ati Radeon 9600 Pro [[xorg.conf]]
  * Setting up [[LVM]]
  * Linux laptops and a [[beamer]]

===== Software =====















==== packages ====
sudo aptitude install 

=== Basic System Setup ===
[[git|git-core git-gui qgit]] ant sun-java6-* ddrescue umbrello htop openssh-server autossh sshfs zsh vim unrar [[nfs|nfs-common]] [[http://www.catonmat.net/blog/unix-utilities-pipe-viewer/|pv]]  nmap wireshark redshift-gtk gsynaptics okular graphviz libsox-fmt-base libsox-fmt-ao  w3m w3m-img sux sox texlive* kile xtightvncviewer dropbox skype psi digikam jhead


gpm gnome-disk-utility  [[scite]] wine [[nfs|nfs-kernel-server]] ddclient gparted computertemp sensors-applet


=== WebServer ===
apache2 apachetop [[php|php5]] [[pear|php-pear]] php5-mysql php5-gd php5-pgsql php5-xsl php5-xdebug

=== Database ===
[[mysql|mysql-server]] mysql-query-browser mysql-admin phpmyadmin postgresql pgadmin3

==== Multimedia ====
inkscape  mp3val lame mplayer vlc acidrip devede dvdstyler grip easytag gimp gimp-resynthesizer jhead


=== DVD Workflow ===
acidrip: (unprotected) DVD → File on Disk

devede: DVD Authoring (w/ re-encoding)

dvdstyler: DVD Authoring (w/o re-encoding)

=== CD Workflow ===
grip: rip cds (no development anymore, not in standard repository)

gnormalize: another cdripper

abcde: commandline cdripper

mp3val: checks and fixes mp3 files

easytag: ID3 Tag editor



==== Focus on Hardware ====
Ubuntu build-in config-tools
  * **[[iptables]]** - Routing and firewall functionality (**firestarter** is a nice and easy to use graphical frontend)
  * **Powertop** - spots energy consuming settings and programs
  * **[[Touchpad|Gsynaptics]]** - Configure your Touchpad
  * **[[laptoprouter|Laptop as a Router]]**

==== Focus on Administration ====
  * **Seahorse** - Gnome PGP/GPG Keymanager
  * **SimpleBackup** - Easy to use backup tool ((http://sourceforge.net/projects/sbackup/))
  * **Apachetop**
  * **getlibs**  - [[http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=474790]]











==== Focus on Everyday Usage ====

  * **Easytag** - Edit e.g. mp3 tags.
  * **Yakuake** - Quake-like console. Use ''Yakuake Simple Theme'', as Gnome does not support the transparency stuff of the KDE-based Yakuake.
  * **[[ZSH]]** - ZShell
  * **[[PSI]]** - Instant Messenger. Install ''qca-tls'' to enable SSL support and ''sox'' to use ''play'' for sounds.
  * **[[Scite]]** - Fast, small and widely adjustable editor (also available for Windows ((The OS from Redmond you heard so much of))
  * **[[vim]]** - Another editor, but this one does not need X
  * **Kile** - Latex IDE.
  * **Latex** - ''texlive*'' packages (sure?)
  * **sux** - export display when switching to different user on commandline
  * **w3m** - console webbrowser. ''w3m-img'' adds image support
  * **gpm** - General Purpose Mouseinterface (or something close to that) - to enable mouse support in console (tty)





==== Focus on Graphics ====
  * **Hugin** - Panoramamaker, can use **enblend** for "soft edges" and **autopano-sift** for automation
