Ubuntu: Up and Running

Summary

Never let anyone tell you that Ubuntu doesn’t have the multimedia tools that are available for Windows and Mac computers, because you’ve now seen just some of the amazing programs that either are provided by default or are available with just a few mouse clicks. And there are many more quality programs; there simply wasn’t room to include them all in this chapter. I recommend you spend a little time browsing the Software Center to find other programs. However, be prepared to try out a few in each category before you settle on one you like.

Anyway, this chapter marks the end of everything strictly Ubuntu in this book. In the remaining two chapters, we’ll look at some other flavors of the operating system, such as Kubuntu and Xubuntu, as well as the Wine program for running Windows software under Linux.
