1. Install Flash for Firefox in Ubuntu 8.10
2. Upgrade OpenOffice.org to version 3 in Ubuntu 8.10
3. Install VLC media player in Ubuntu 8.10
4. Install Adobe Reader in Ubuntu 8.10

  1. Is it really necessary to install Adobe Reader, when we have free alternatives like Evince, Okular and KPDF ?

  7. Adobe reader is a multi-megabyte unstable hog and spyware. Don't use it on any platform. KPDF, Evince, and Ghostview all do the job just fine. Ghostview is bit rough around the edges, but it foils protected PDFs :)

  9. Adobe Reader is gratis, but not free software like Evince and KPDF.

  10. Personally, I don't get too hung up over Free vs OSS. Free means free to choose as well.
