“This tutorial shows how you can set up an Ubuntu
Studio 10.04 desktop that is a full-fledged replacement for a
Windows desktop, i.e. that has all the software that people need to
do the things they do on their Windows desktops. The advantages are
clear: you get a secure system without DRM restrictions that works
even on old hardware, and the best thing is: all software comes
free of charge.“I want to say first that this is not the only way of setting up
such a system. There are many ways of achieving this goal but this
is the way I take. I do not issue any guarantee that this will work
for you!“1 Preliminary Note
“To fully replace a Windows desktop, I want the Ubuntu Studio
desktop to have the following software installed: Graphics:* The GIMP – free software replacement for Adobe Photoshop
* F-Spot – full-featured personal photo management application for
the GNOME desktop
* Google Picasa – application for organizing and editing digital
photos“Internet:
* Firefox
* Opera
* Flash Player 10
* FileZilla – multithreaded FTP client”
