PCLinuxOS Day 4 - Extending the System
PCLinuxOS comes with a decent set of basic applications. OpenOffice.org, Thunderbird and Firefox are all there, GIMP for graphics, K3b for burning your cd/dvd’s, Amarok and MPlayer in the multimedia department. Synaptic is the tool to extend the range of applications and graphical environments. To start with the latter. You should be able to install GNOME, Xfce and Metisse from the software repositories and I will try that later in the series.
For now I simply want to add my the extra software I want. That means the software that is part of so-called GNOME office, some financial software, I want Pidgin as a chat client. I also want at least KOffice.
