Nowadays, you can update your sources list, and install the suggested package list.

​

!!!!# Package List

You can then install all the rest of the required and useful software for common tasks (including video editing, screencasting, etc). Note that the first package names until wcatalan are localization packages for our local language, and you can skip them or adapt for your language, etc.

!!!!# PDF con Acrobat Reader 9.x

By default you can get Adobe Acrobat 8.x in the repositories, as far as I see. But you can download 9.x version in English from Adobe website: http://get.adobe.com/reader/otherversions/

​

For instance, this version: [http://ardownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/unix/9.x/9.5.5/enu/AdbeRdr9.5.5-1_i386linux_enu.deb|AdbeRdr9.5.5-1_i386linux_enu.deb]

​

For 32-bit system:

{CODE()}

sudo dpkg -i ~/Downloads/AdbeRdr9.5.5-1_i386linux_enu.deb; sudo apt-get -f install

{CODE}

​

!!!!# Editor de PDF

To edit pdf's easily with a GUI-based program, you can use "Master pdf editor"

([http://code-industry.net/free-pdf-editor.php])

!!!!# Java

!!!!!# Add Java 7-8-9 (JRE) from Sun/Oracle

If for some reason you need Java (jre) from Sun (currently Oracle), because the openjdk doesn't work for you (if you want to share your desktop with BigBlueButton, for instance, that doesn't seem to like the openjdk, or IPA requiring it), you can add the proprietary java through external repositories.

​

For JRE 7-8-9 from Oracle, you can add the webupd8 repos (ppa:webupd8team/java ; it was added in a previous step through the proxy, etc), and install the installer package:

​

{CODE(colors="bash", wrap="1", caption="Command on a console")}

# Install Java 8

sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-installer

# Set the environments variables for Java 8

sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-set-default

{CODE}

​
