This should be easy for you. By default, Mozilla Firefox is installed after fresh installation of Ubuntu Feisty. And the fact is, Firefox is more secure and faster web browser you can get to date.

1. Mozilla Firefox (installed by default)
2. Opera - Fast and safe Web browser (but a bit difficult to customize and set up)
To install :

• Go to the main Opera download page HERE.
• Choose Feisty Fawn
• Click Download Opera. Download will start automatically. Save the file and run it after download is completed.

3. Epiphany - The web browser for GNOME. You can read about it HERE.
To install :

• Open Terminal. Type

sudo apt-get install epiphany-browser

• Epiphany will start downloading and should be on your menu (Application>Internet>Epiphany) shortly.

Yes, it is true that Ubuntu can't play most video or audio files out of the box. But, it is same for Windows. Ever tried playing h264/MOV/aac content in windows?You end up installing some application too. The most easy way to setup these things is using software called Automatix. Automatix is a software which have plenty of softwares in it, making installation is really simple ( just little clicks ). Click link below to download .deb package for installation.

Automatix ( Ubuntu Feisty )
Automatix 64 ( Ubuntu Feisty 64 bit )

Save the package and run it, simple as that. It should be downloading something during the download session.


Pick any software you want ( tick it ) and hit Start..:) and Automatix will do the rest..enjoy..:)

Actually, i dont spent many times to explore Vista until recently my father bought an acer laptop, which comes preinstalled with Vista..and i had the chance to play with vista before i come back to my home. The fisrt impression was, extremely SLUGGISH, and still unstable. Vista should not behave like this, where my father's laptop actually fill the minimum requirement ( 1 GB RAM, 128 MB Nvidia Geforce Go 7300, C2D 1.66 Ghz ) but somehow problems still appears. Take a look..:)



Personally, my Ubuntu Feisty with Compiz-Fusion where the desktop is much much much much more electrifying than Vista and could run on much more MINIMAL requirement ( 512 MB RAM, ATI Radeon x700 128 Mb, Pentium M 2.0 ) and NEVER counter any display driver problem..:) BTW, Compiz-Fusion renders so quickly, i think 10x more than Vista..:) So, why still use Vista?..:) They eat freakin' amount of laptop's power n yet so sluggish..:D

BTW, i still find setting how to output video to tv..;( Still don't get it and don't know where..:( and yet, so many same problem..:( I think to switch back to XP is the best solution ( since my father will use it )...:P

Well, i've been using Ubuntu Linux Feisty Fawn for 5 months now. And along that time, i've screw up 4 times, by doing something that is not suppose to do (well, how do i know, i'm just a newbie back there)..:p After all, i've come to list things you should NOT DO with your linux...:)

1. Don't ever broke the dependencies. Whenever you installing, updating or removing programs, let the whole process completed. NEVER interrupt the process.
2. If you can, avoid hard restart or shutdown at any cost.
3. If given step-bt-step installation guide, FOLLOW EVERY SINGLE STEP! Dont even skip one. I've got bad experience about this.
4. Before following step-by-step installation, do some research either that instruction is working or not and for what version.
5. Don't ignore advice from other linux user especially experts on forums. They know what they talking about.

By doing things properly, right after i applied all above rules, i never counter crashes anymore, and all things work like charm..:)
