= CLean install fix =
== 1 Remove and install all but whats needed in 1 line ==
 * All what i need for any x/Ubuntu in one line. I myself now use Ubuntu Desktop 10.04.02 and Ubuntu Netbook Remix 10.04.03 and for testing i sometimes also log in Ubuntu Desktop 11.04
 * Puts apport to start now and permantely
 * Makes Grub timeout 2 sec and removes 3-6 tty
 * Makes harddrive usage less by making Swap usage less important so 90% stays in ram and making it work immidiattly and faster inode vm.vfs_cache_pressure=1
 * Enables all "main universe restricted multiverse "repositories and canonical "partner" repository
 * Adds Firefox stable ppa so with update comes latest
 * Adds ubuntu partner repo so we can later install skype
 * Removes GIMP and Thunderbird couse not everyone starts with drawing and most uses gmail instead of Thunderbird or as me chromium with Offline Gmail
 * Removes Totem couse to play all we need to install some plugins but later well Install VLC witch plays with no additional codex installations
 * Installs aptitude and with it does update and upgrade. It removes not used anymore packages on upgrades.
 * Installs Chromium-Browser Firefox Addon Adblock-Plus FlashPlugin VLC SKype
 * AND Powertop and launhes it so on 1st time u can do fixes for powersaving when it after 5 seconds starts giving help on saving battery power and proposing autofix with confirmation of pressing asked keys
With apt-get (for now best line but latter will be remade to aptitude)

 DEJADUP

 TIMEVAULT https://launchpad.net/timevault

 FlyBack http://code.google.com/p/flyback/


While Youtube without Flash Auto http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/50771 doesnt work in vlc on Ubuntu
Then FlashVideo Replacer helps https://addons.mozilla.org/en-Us/firefox/addon/flashvideoreplacer/


Note to self: later doing prioritizing lines
who uses tty 3-6?
who uses banshee rhythmbox
who uses totem vlc
skype pidgin
firefox latest adblock flash
chromium
who uses ssd hdd
all need faster speed up RAMing

who wants also can add
banshee rhythmbox
