Organicdesign-workstation

This article represents a Debian package which is installed in our main packages repository at packages.organicdesign.co.nz/main. See packages for more information, or Category:Debian packages for a list of all package articles like this one. For details about the package contents, see its control file.

This package will ultimately replace the Ubuntu Post Install so that a freshly installed Ubuntu workstation simply needs to apt-get organicdesign-workstation. The image on the left is a screen shot which shows the Ubuntu update dialog appearing after the organicdesign-workstation package version parameter was changed from 1.0 to 1.1.
