Information
Kubuntu currently ships with a variety of applications in which suit the average user. We do realize that this doesn't suit everyone, even the newest of users who are looking for that one particular package that they do not know is available. Because Kubuntu currently doesn't have any extra space located on the CDs, we have come up with the next best thing and that will be a "Kubuntu Extras Document" which will be located in the system documentation starting with the 8.04 (Hardy Heron) release as well as the community documentation wiki.
- Why not have a "Kubuntu Extras" section as a part of Adept's post install/upgrade process? This might be include as a checklist of the softwares listed here and a single install button will provide the checked ones.
So, if you have some applications that you use with your Kubuntu system, please add them to the growing list below. If someone has already added your application, then second the application by adding a checkmark by typing a (./) next to the application listed. Thank you!
Comment: could we also have a mark (.\) for votes against it please? - MyriamSchweingruber
- These suggestions are just going to be documented. They are not going to be included with a default install, so there is no reason to request removal in my opinion.
Suggestion List - To be included
KDE/Qt
BasKet
bibletime
Codeine (Should be default, instead of Kaffeine, imho, as it's interface is much cleaner and less cluttered by default, and is more focused on usability - sandsmark)
Dictionary (KDict)
Filelight
KCalc
KCharSelect
KCHMViewer
kdegames meta-package
Kdenlive
KFTPGrabber
KGet
KGpg
kfax (This is needed to open .tiff pictures/attachments (fax2email) and should be included by default - DivanSantana)
kicker-applets
Kile
Kirocker
Kmplayer
KMyMoney2 -especially the 0.9 (currently in development) as it has some nice new wizards/features

- kshutdown
KSudoku
ksynaptics
- kvideoencoder

a good and reliable solution to synchronize data with Palm PDAs and Pocket PCs.
Proprietary
Opera I vote against that, it's proprietary and could only be integrated in the restricted repository. MyriamSchweingruber - (Sure? I see it's now moved into main, which means license is OK, and is fully supported - TonyWhite) (This *is* the category for proprietary software... -sandsmark)
Skype
- striata-reader (For reading/opening .emc encrypted files like bank statements)
Suggested, but already included
K3B
Ktorrent
Katapult
knotes
Suggestion List - To be removed
D3lphin - oh come on, this is great, you don't have to use it if you don't like it, but removing something the Kubuntu team (and the KDE folks) has voted for is silly. MyriamSchweingruber.
- Also note that the Dolphin "NAY" sayers are the minority. There have been way more people say "YES" and enjoy Dolphin as the default file manager.
Go ahead and remove Dolphin. It's redundant compared to Konqueror and will probably never catch up, with miles and miles of difference in functionality. - [https://wiki.kubuntu.org/goodtimetribe GoodTimeTribe ]
- Dolphin is a good file manager. Those who don't like it can still use Konqueror.
OpenOffice.org - Just a suggestion, to be replaced by Koffice. ClayWeber
There is already a spec on replacing OpenOffice with KOffice. Currently, KOffice still has too many bugs for my taste. After KOffice 2 is out, it may be a worthy replacement for OpenOffice, though. Sorry, but KOffice has a long way to go to replace OpenOffice, if you like, install both (Daniel477)
I think that only kde or qt applications should be in Kubuntu's list. Jmaspons (Disagree - this should be a list of packages a Kubuntu user would need to have a really nice system - Gimp, for example, is the finest image editing program on any platform - TonyWhite) (Krita, part of Koffice instead?? -AlexPerry2) (Krita actually beats Gimp in several respects - sandsmark). Non KDE/QT applications should be included. Having the ability to operate those, and excluding them is missing a big opportunity and leaves out a demonstration of the capability to run both. - [https://wiki.kubuntu.org/goodtimetribe GoodTimeTribe ]
- SMPlayer is better than KMplayer
Wondering, that no one suggested XSane. Copy&Print with Kooka is awful.
