Ubuntu

Ubuntu linux is the best alternative for windows and its my favourite linux distros and even to many.It provides the graphical yet simple user interface and provides easy navigation through menus,its ultimate for beginners to start with ubuntu.Ubuntu packages(softwares) are based on debian linux.So it supports only debian packages(it usually have an extension .deb).

                                             Ubuntu 10.10 desktop


The following are the list of steps for installing the vital packages in ubuntu and their brief descriptions.
Any of the following ways can be used to install packages:
1.Go to terminal(Applications->Accessories->Terminal) then type
SUDO APT-GET INSTALL PACKAGE NAME 

OR 
2.USE SYNAPTIC PACKAGE MANAGER(It can be found by navigating through
Applications->ubuntu software resources(Add or remove programs in older versions) ).

FIRESTARTER-firewall for ubuntu.
PYSDM-Used to automount the hard drives.
SKYPE-voip client
KTORRENT-Bittorrent client for ubuntu.Although Transmission (package) shipped with ubuntu is engough,ktorrent provides additional features.
WINE-Windows emulator, windows based softwares can be run through this emulator.
OPENSHOT VIDEO EDITOR-video editing and manipulation tool
AUDACITY-open source sound editor tool
APTONCD-Package backup software

And also ubuntu does not support proprietary audio and video formats due to restrictions in some countries.You can install it by double clicking the specified audio or video file to be played, it prompts you to download the codecs,click ok.Thats it.
