Customizing Ubuntu

Just for future reference, I'm going to try and list all the different software packages I've added to Ubuntu now I've got it installed on this old laptop.

I must say, installing and customizing things on Ubuntu is much easier than the last time I tried using a flavor of Linux (Redhat back around 2006 or so).

Here's the list so far:

• Oracle Java(TM) Development Kit (JDK) 7
• Eclipse, using the Ubuntu Software Center, got an older version (Indigo), but that's ok with me
• Wikipedia Lens
• OpenSSH server
• Gimp
• Lightweight Java Game Library (lwjgl) by following this link
• Boot-Up Manager (BUM)
• ClassicMenu Indicator
• Kompozer
• XChat-GNOME
• FileZilla (I know it's got FTP built in, but I like FileZilla anyway)

That's it for now, but I'm sure to find some more toys to download and install.
