Ninite for Ubuntu Linux beta

what is this?

Ninite installs multiple apps at once without any hassles.

Choose the apps you want below and then click Get Installer. We make a custom .deb package for Ubuntu that will add the proper APT repositories and keys and then install the apps for you.

Ninite started as a project for Windows apps, but we got a lot of requests for a Linux version. We'd love to hear what you think.

I installed this in a Virtual Machine using VirtualBox. I allocated 1Gb of RAM, and 64 Mb of Video memory. I will test it like this for now. This is the default desktop on first boot. Nice!

Here is the Main Menu screenshot. Lot of options here.

 Audio menu. Aurdour, Audacity, and lots of other programs.

Audio Utilities menu, your plugins and Jack addons. 

I like the main control panel, it has a install to USB icon.

Internet menu includes Chrome, Filezilla, Putty, and email.

Settings menu has most everything to customize AV Linux.

 WINE started to auto-install and configure itself on startup. Sweet.

I will install this later on a dedicated PC and give it a spin. I have some microphones and mixers to plug in and see if it really performs as advertised.
