Ubuntu After Install!

# Ubuntu After Install Submitted by The Fan Club on Thu, 2016-03-24 12:04 **Automated installation a lot of useful ****extra ****software on Ubuntu after the initial desktop install. ** This program installs a collection of some of the best Ubuntu software and can be considered to be one of the top things to do after installing Ubuntu.

The application will install the** latest versions** of all software listed below as well as **add** the** required PPA's**
