Afternoon /g/
Installed Ubuntu 11.04 into VM last night and wanted to know what are some essential things I need for it?
Using Gnome classic as I the physical limits I set are not enough to support Unity (good, I don't like the Mac-inspired look)
The host machine is running Win7, and my other VMs include: WinXP, Arch, and CentOS

restricted extras is a definite.
Just a list of things I made sure I had

VLC
gimp
inkscape
tumiki fighters
comix

Just google it, you'll find loads of lists. I recommend you search for "things to do after installing 10.4" because that was the last LTS version

What?
My host machine is already running Windows 7, why install another iteration of Win7 into a VM?

Also, was an avid Chrome user on my host OS but this defaults with Ff4. What's the 4chan Plus equivalent for Firefox?

Just install Chromium, and if you aren't afraid of the Googs, set up syncing to have all the same extensions, bookmarks, etc. on all instances.

If you want, you can install chromium, which is what google chrome is based off. All chrome extensions work on chromium

Whilst you're there, just flick through a few things.

Also, sudo apt-get install drapes

Yeah, that's what I ended up doing
Another question, clicking down the scroll wheel doesn't create that cross hair in a circle image pop-up for super fast scrolling, though it still works to open objects/links in new tabs
