Minitube is pretty cool, the idea to provide a more tv-like interaction with YouTube.

To get it first you’ve gotta add the repo, so in Karmic all you have to do is type:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:neversfelde/ppa

then reload your repos:

sudo apt-get update

And finally install:

sudo apt-get install minitube

Enjoy!

My laptop is pretty crappy as far as specs go, so finding a lightweight music player is essential if I want to enjoy some tunes while I do…anything…on it. Muine is about as simple as you can get. I think it scanned my entire 15GB collection in mere minutes. Then all I did was point it to an album and tell it to start playing. Nothing fancy, but it works!

to install:

sudo apt-get install muine

yep, that’s it! enjoy!
