Totem video player??”As for multimedia support, GNOME continues to improve its
Totem video player, which is based on the GStreamer multimedia framework. Playlists are
now integrated into the Totem sidebar, and DVD menus and subtitles are supported.
Totem includes increased support for multiple playlist formats, including the standard
CML Sharable Playlist Format, QuickTime Metalink playlists, and RealAudio playlists.
Application installation and management tools??”After Ubuntu is installed, you can
use the Add/Remove Programs selection from the System Administration menu to install
new applications or to remove existing ones you don??™t want anymore. You can also use
the Synaptic package manager to browse all available packages in the Ubuntu repositories,
making it easy to find and install the open source applications that do exactly what
you need to do.
Beyond these features, Ubuntu contains a broad range of open source applications suitable for the
desktop. Leading the list are the latest versions of OpenOffice.org (popular office productivity suite),
the GIMP (image manipulation software), and Firefox (Web browser).
