| The Perfect Desktop - Ubuntu Studio 8.04Version 1.0 Author: Falko Timme Last edited 06/04/2008 This tutorial shows how you can set up an Ubuntu Studio 8.04 desktop that is a full-fledged replacement for a Windows desktop, i.e. that has all the software that people need to do the things they do on their Windows desktops. The advantages are clear: you get a secure system without DRM restrictions that works even on old hardware, and the best thing is: all software comes free of charge. I want to say first that this is not the only way of setting up such a system. There are many ways of achieving this goal but this is the way I take. I do not issue any guarantee that this will work for you! 1 Preliminary Note
To fully replace a Windows desktop, I want the Ubuntu Studio desktop to have the following software installed: Graphics:
- The GIMP - free software replacement for Adobe Photoshop
- F-Spot - full-featured personal photo management application for the GNOME desktop
- Google Picasa - application for organizing and editing digital photos
Internet:
- Firefox
- Opera
- Flash Player 9
- FileZilla - multithreaded FTP client
- Thunderbird -
email and news client
- Evolution - combines e-mail, calendar, address book, and task list management functions
- aMule - P2P file sharing application
- BitTornado - Bittorrent client
- Azureus - Java Bittorrent client
- Pidgin - multi-platform instant messaging client
- Skype
- Google Earth
- Xchat IRC - IRC client
Office:
- OpenOffice Writer - replacement for Microsoft Word
- OpenOffice Calc - replacement for Microsoft Excel
- Adobe Reader
- GnuCash - double-entry book-keeping personal finance system, similar to Quicken
- Scribus - open source desktop publishing (DTP) application
Sound & Video:
- Amarok - audio player
- Audacity - free, open source, cross platform digital audio editor
- Banshee - audio player, can encode/decode various formats and synchronize music with Apple iPods
- MPlayer - media player (video/audio), supports WMA
- Rhythmbox Music Player - audio player, similar to Apple's iTunes, with support for iPods
- gtkPod - software similar to Apple's iTunes, supports iPod, iPod nano, iPod shuffle, iPod photo, and iPod mini
- XMMS - audio player similar to Winamp
- dvd::rip - full featured DVD copy program
- Kino - free digital video editor
- Sound Juicer CD Extractor - CD ripping tool, supports various audio codecs
- VLC Media Player - media player (video/audio)
- Helix Player - media player, similar to the Real Player
- Totem - media player (video/audio)
- Xine - media player, supports various formats; can play DVDs
- Brasero - CD/DVD burning program
- K3B - CD/DVD burning program
- Multimedia Codecs
Programming:
- KompoZer - WYSIWYG HTML editor, similar to Macromedia Dreamweaver, but not as feature-rich (yet)
- Bluefish - text editor, suitable for many programming and markup languages
- Quanta Plus - web development environment, including a WYSIWYG editor
Other:
- VMware Server - lets you run your old Windows desktop as
a virtual machine under your Linux desktop, so you don't have to entirely abandon Windows
- TrueType fonts
- Java
- Read-/Write support for NTFS partitions
Lots of our desired applications are available in the Ubuntu repositories, and some of these applications have been contributed by the Ubuntu community. I will use the username falko in this tutorial. Please replace it with your own username. 2 Installing The Base System
The installation of the base system is easy as 1-2-3 because the Ubuntu Studio installer doesn't offer a lot of options to choose from, so you cannot go wrong.
sr_adspace_id = 4098007; sr_adspace_width = 300; sr_adspace_height = 250; sr_adspace_type = "graphic"; sr_ad_new_window = true;
Download the Ubuntu Studio iso image from http://ubuntustudio.org/downloads, burn it onto a DVD, and boot your computer from it.
Select your language: (Javascript must be enabled in your browser to view the large image as an image overlay.) Then select Install Ubuntu Studio: (Javascript must be enabled in your browser to view the large image as an image overlay.) Choose your language again (?): (Javascript must be enabled in your browser to view the large image as an image overlay.) Then select your location: (Javascript must be enabled in your browser to view the large image as an image overlay.) (Javascript must be enabled in your browser to view the large image as an image overlay.) Choose a keyboard layout (you will be asked to press a few keys, and the installer will try to detect your keyboard layout based on the keys you pressed): (Javascript must be enabled in your browser to view the large image as an image overlay.) (Javascript must be enabled in your browser to view the large image as an image overlay.) (Javascript must be enabled in your browser to view the large image as an image overlay.) The installer checks the installation CD, your hardware, and configures the network with DHCP if there is a DHCP server in the network: (Javascript must be enabled in your browser to view the large image as an image overlay.) (Javascript must be enabled in your browser to view the large image as an image overlay.) (Javascript must be enabled in your browser to view the large image as an image overlay.) (Javascript must be enabled in your browser to view the large image as an image overlay.) You can accept the default hostname or specify your own one: (Javascript must be enabled in your browser to view the large image as an image overlay.) Now you have to partition your hard disk. For simplicity's sake I will create one big partition (with the mount point /) and a little swap partition so I select Guided - use entire disk (of course, the partitioning is totally up to you - if you like, you can create more than just one big partition, and you can also use LVM): (Javascript must be enabled in your browser to view the large image as an image overlay.) Select the disk that you want to partition: (Javascript must be enabled in your browser to view the large image as an image overlay.) When you're finished, hit Yes when you're asked Write the changes to disks?: (Javascript must be enabled in your browser to view the large image as an image overlay.) Afterwards, your new partitions are being created and formatted: (Javascript must be enabled in your browser to view the large image as an image overlay.)
