Remember Automatix? Yes the nifty little application that made installing additional softwares on the Ubuntu system a breeze. Here comes the same for Fedora 9, FedoMATIX (v0.1Beta). It currently works on the command line only, but supports more than 60 additional softwares/apps already. The next version, which is due release in 2 months, will feature a GUI and many more softwares and hacks.

the terminal is the ace up your sleeve.
For me apt-get is enough :-), but I think that even Synaptic is still not enough for a totally new person to linux/ubuntu. For example, once you write mp3 or avi in Synaptic you get dozens of packages to choose from. Automatix, on the other hand, used to give very easy way to install essential stuff such as mp3 and avi support.
