Ubuntu 10.10 Base install:
Basics of apt-get syntax

Hardcode server ip address:

Download and install interconn for running software behind a proxy.  The instructions are easy to follow.

  2. subversion
  3. samba
  4. smbclient
  5. samba-doc
  6. nfs-common
  7. lrzsz

Install Cross Over Office:

DVDFab for the occasional DVD Image:

  1. apt-get -y install wine1.2
  2. You can only use DVDFab7090.exe, since all newer versions don’t have the copy feature.  Apparently only the root user can run DVDFab for some reason.  It will work under wine or crossover office.
  3. As the user you will be ripping with run:  wine <dvdfab downloaded executable>
