!!Checklist

<pre>
Is all my data backed up?
Has my install successfully completed?
Does my graphics output look OK?
Does my modem work?
Does sound work?
Can I dual boot Windows and Linux (if applicable?)
Have I installed the updates?
Do I know how to keep my machine up to date in future?
Have I been shown how to launch all the applications?
Have I been shown how to look for help?
Am I aware of all the WLUG resources (wiki, mailing list, etc)
</pre>

Based on the [automate script for new Hoary users|http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=22646], I propose on all Hoary installations at the Installfest, we do:

These lines in /etc/apt/sources.list:

<verbatim>
# beagle / mono
deb http://manno.name/debian/ hoary main

# win32 codecs
deb http://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/ stable main
deb http://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/ unstable main
deb http://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/ testing main

# java
deb http://ubuntu.tower-net.de/ubuntu/ hoary java
</verbatim>

This /etc/apt/preferences:

<pre>
Package: *
Pin: release o=Christian Marillat
Pin-Priority: 1
</pre>

Do this:

<pre>
gpg --keyserver wwwkeys.eu.pgp.net --recv-keys 1F41B907
gpg --armor --export 1F41B907 | sudo apt-key add -
</pre>

And then install these things:

; __Flash__ : flashplayer-mozilla
; __Java__ : sun-j2re1.5
; __Mono__ : f-spot tomboy
; __Audio/Video__: gstreamer0.8-mad gstreamer0.8-ffmpeg w32codecs libdvdcss2 (possibly totem/xine?)
; __Fonts__: msttcorefonts
; __Acrobat Reader__: acroread=7.0-0sarge0.9 mozilla-acroread and/or evince
; __CD Writing__ : gnomebaker
; __FTP__: gftp
; __Skype__ : ?
; __Beagle__ : beagle (drags in lots of -dev, use sparingly)
