Author: Falko Timme • Tags: desktop, ubuntu • Comments: 0Installing Popular Applications On Your Ubuntu Desktop With Automatix2 Although Ubuntu comes with lots of applications that can be installed on your desktop, there are still some applications that are available only from third-party repositories.

Comments: 15 Setting Up A PXE Install Server For Multiple Linux Distributions With Ubuntu Edgy Eft This tutorial shows how to set up a PXE (short for preboot execution environment) install server with Ubuntu 6.10 (Edgy Eft). A PXE install server allows your client computers to boot and install a Linux distribution over the network, without the need of burning Linux iso images onto a CD/DVD, boot floppy images, etc. This is handy if your client computers don't have CD or floppy drives, or if you want to set up multiple computers at the same time (e.g. in a large enterprise), or simply because you want to save the money for the CDs/DVDs. In this article I show how to configure a PXE server that allows you to boot multiple distributions: Ubuntu Edgy/Dapper, Debian Etch/Sarge, Fedora Core 6, CentOS 4.4, OpenSuSE 10.2, and Mandriva 2007.

It lets you compile and install software from the sources like before, but with the difference that you end up with a simple Debian package which also means that you can easily uninstall the software you just compiled by running dpkg -r!
