GetDeb: June 2008 Archives
GetDeb is an interesting project. It's a collection of packages that are compatible with Ubuntu but not yet in the official Ubuntu repositories.
I haven't tried any of these — there's plenty that Ubuntu does include, and I haven't needed anything I couldn't find. But GetDeb is worth keeping an eye on.
The project has a blog, and despite its relative lack of traffic, it merits a look.
Here are the top 10 packages for the day at GetDeb:
Startup Manager
(1.9.11)
Screenlets
(0.1.1)
Wine-Doors
(0.1.2)
gBrainy
(0.70)
Ubuntu Tweak
(0.3.1)
gPodder
(0.11.3)
Wormux
(0.8final)
LiVES
(0.9.8.12)
ManDVD
(2.4)
Songbird
(0.5)
Some of these look pretty good, so if you're the inquisitive type, see what GetDeb has to offer.
