Hi All,

I am looking at using BackBox as my day-to-day OS. I have been using Linux for well over 10 years, and that includes Ubuntu, and Linux Mint.

After a new release of these distros I usually search for Things To Do After Installing.... This usually brings more repositories, and other useful apps.

Is there such a post / article out there?

Thanks in advance for any responses.

you can add any of ubuntu like repositories. however, it is up to your responsibility to use such repos.

ostendali,

Thank you for your reply, and warning. I was looking at Kali, but BackBox seems to offer more user friendliness, and greater app selection, if I pick, and choose what repos I want installed carefully.

Still back to my point - has anyone compiled a Things To Do After Installing BackBox? This was always very common with Ubuntu, or Linux Mint new releases.

Again, thanks for your reply.

Adler,
sincerely, why there should be a Things to do after installing?
Things to do are what you need... if you need nothing, you have to do nothing. If you need stuffs, you have to do stuffs  ;)
Maybe that's just my point of view...

b4d_bl0ck,

Thanks for your reply, and I do understand your point. I have yet to do the install, and just wanted to look around for advice about post install goodies. Synaptic, or sudo apt-get install xyz may just do it for me e.g.get Thunderbird, PlayOnLinux, Oracle's VM VMWARE, etc. That is if the right repositories are part of the the install. I can always search for needed repos to get - codecs, VLC, et al.

I have been using Linux Distros for over 10+ years, and I do break things, but that is half the fun. LOL! I do regular back-ups, and mail is in the Cloud

Thanks again for the post.
