new system

Just installed a new system with a fresh Ubuntu install? Install all the packages in one shot,

~$ sudo aptitude install build-essential ddd insight kdbg kdevelop eclipse eclipse-cdt eclipse-jdt kompare kate bless kile lyx cscope global octave kmplot vim emacs virtualbox-ose pdfedit scribus inkscape checkgmail kompozer manpages manpages-posix easytag gtkpod vlc libncurses5 libncurses5-dev dialog curl sun-java6-jre sun-java6-jdk wireshark qt4-dev-tools qt4-assistant qt4-designer qdevelop monodevelop umbrello git git-core gitk git-gui graphviz doxygen doxygen-gui

Apart from that, install the individual .deb for

1. Google Chrome (dev channel)
2. Skype for 32 bit (64-bit still shaky)
3. Picasa for Linux

Before installing new packages, do
~$ sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade
