New Version
Robbie has coded Perfectbuntu 5.0, released at the same time as Ubuntu 10.04. Please visit perfectbuntu.category5.tv for more details.
Description
Install tons of extras into Ubuntu / Kubuntu / Xubuntu / etc.
When Hardy was released, Automatix closed it's support for *buntu. This left a large gap in the "quick and easy" market for multimedia codec installation. perfectbuntu is the new version of what was at that time called "The Perfect Hardy", as it now supports more than just Hardy Heron. perfectbuntu is a Linux script built specifically for Ubuntu-based distros, and it makes the installation of all your multimedia, DVD, fonts, etc. so very easy.
This script does not come with or even imply any kind of warranty. If your system breaks, you take full responsibility.

While perfectbuntu will work on most any flavour of *buntu, it should be noted that it was developed specifically under and for Ubuntu. Therefore, if you are using a different flavour of *buntu (Kubuntu for example) please expect some gnome components to be installed due to the nature of dependencies.
