I just apt-get install . One can just apt-get or equivalent as long as your Linux box has connection to the Internet. Even if net access is via http proxy, apt-get can go via the proxy export http_proxy=http://address:port will do the trick. Ubuntu Guide has the command to install just about every app you would need http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Hardy If there is Internet access, Linux distros comes with lots of packages. For such case, I suggest to use the multimedia ready out of the box distro such as Mepis, LinuxMint etc. Anyway, new users will still find linuxlinks helpful to discover Linux apps.
