Navegando en el gran mundo virtual que en este día tenemos, me encontre un articulo que hacer despues de instalar nuestra nueva actualización de UBUNTU 8.10, sencillamente 10 cosas pueden hacer de mucha utilidad para nuestra vida cotidiana y vemos las nuevas innovaciones tecnologicas que hacen nuestros amigos de proyecto UBUNTU.
1. Add the Medibuntu Repository
Medibutu stands for Multimedia, Entertainment & Distractions In Ubuntu and is a repository of packages that cannot be included in Ubuntu due to legal reasons. We need to add this repository to enable MP3, DVD playback, install certain codecs etc.
