Ultimate Ubuntu

There are about as many Linux distros (distributions) as free software programs for Linux.  I personally prefer Ubuntu because it’s so customizable and updated frequently.  But there are many different flavors of Ubuntu, so I created this script (batch) file to automatically download and install many different desktops and common/popular software programs for both new and seasoned Ubuntu users to learn and try much of what Ubuntu has to offer.  It’s intended to run on a central, main desktop computer than can be used as a powerful gaming/multimedia center.  Installation may take at least a few hours, depending upon your computer and Internet speed!  Most of the installation is fully automated, but some software programs may require user input before proceeding.  Please watch installation occasionally.  Download the script file at http://webpages.charter.net/drkstlkr/Ultibuntu.sh

I'll include instructions of how to make this script file executable soon!
