Just installed Automatix into Ubuntu and it as solved many of my Linux problems.

Used it to upgrade to Thunderbird 2 from version 1.5 and installed loads of software.

I installed a utility that automatically mounts NTFS and FAT32 drives and now I can read and write to the second hard drive which I have never been able to do before.

There are versions for many Linux distro's. 

It worked perfectly for me but a friend installed Automatix and could not boot up after so don't hold me reponsable.

  With Automatix Ubuntu is now my OS of choice.

Correction

Automatix is for Ubuntu variations.

Automatix doesn't do anything which you can't do perfectly well with the regular package management system, it just makes it a bit easier. And there are some criticisms of its possible effects on system stability. In the longer term it would be better to learn to do without it.

 

Yes quite agree but as a newcomer to Linux it is making things much easier for me while I lean.

I did read some where yesterday that automatix could be integrated into a future Ubuntu distro.
