Yep , and you will have Wine without wine-doors, compiz without Emerald-Themes no
Real-Player and no Opera...but who care...

Automatix Alternative?

What is Ultamatix? I would like to start off by saying the software if you so choose is based off "Automatix", but sold out to pioneer linux so no such thing anymore.

wget http://ultamatix.com/download/ultamatix-1.8.0-3_all.deb

sudo dpkg -i ultamatix-1.8.0-3_all.deb

This will install all the packages required for ultamatix.

Hi:I am running Ubuntu 7.04 and downloaded ultamatix, but after it downloads the package it says that it has been unsuccesful, in other words it is a NO Go. Please advise Thanks. Victorvole
