Almost like a ritual. I do some changes to /etc/apt/sources.list, add a few ppa repositories from launchpad and install the following packages. When I do so i feel more relaxed and ready to use the computer.

• Gnome Do
  • I also turn on to start up by boot and activate twitter plugin, this is where I mostly twitter from.
• Google Chrome
  • Also some extensions to Chrome (a google url shortener and google apps checkers)
• Docky
  • On netbooks i customize the startup command to include a -n for smoother experience.
• Ubuntu Restricted Extras
  • Since Ubuntu don’t include by default a lot of handy codecs, this package will provide them.
• Picasa
  • What else is there to use as a photo organizer?
