I’m going to start posting configuration notes here on my blog, mostly because I’m getting old and am forgetting things more and more lately. If anyone else finds them useful, that’s cool too.
Each time I install an Ubuntu box, I find myself reinstalling the same sets of packages. Some of these are security-specific, and some are simply there to make my desktop a bit more usable. I’ll add to these as I install them. Hopefully, in time, I’ll have a list of packages I can reference to quickly get a machine to a usable state.
- nmap
- tcpdump
- tcpflow
- ethereal
- tethereal
- minicom
- screen
- msttcorefonts
- gsfonts-x11
- remind
Use the following in a terminal to grab all the packages listed above (and their dependencies):
apt-get install nmap tcpdump tcpflow ethereal tethereal minicom screen msttcorefonts gsfonts-x11 remind
