“B-Sides” installs a selection of software that “didn’t make the Ubuntu disc” but “complements” the Ubuntu desktop well. Just like a B-side on a music CD!

Keeping with Ubuntu’s “one application per task” rule it doesn’t add extra browsers, more music players or another photo management applications but rather new applications a user might benefit from. (So no obscure software, either!)

What you get

“B-Sides” installs the following software: -

• Gwibber
• GNOME Do
• PiTiVi
• Cheese Simple
• CCSM
• Jokosher
• Restricted Extras
• Miro
• OpenOffice (For Ooo Apps Not Installed – Formula, Etc)
