Thread: to do list after installing


the following website suggests 1 housekeeping task after installing "expand software repository list' replacing source list his. such action sounds bit fishy me...how can know code correct , wouldn't there official source list of sort on ubuntu site somewhere?

i wouldn't. things can out of date, incorrect, or malicious.



instead (answering title), update system, install "ubuntu-restricted-extras" package, , surf software centre else might want. ubuntu enough don't need repos. if ever end using experimental software, might enable ppas, if far, i'll assume know you're doing file. rule of thumb: if you're not installing software or updating, root access ("sudo") bad.
