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.

I've been with ubuntu for over a year now and initially I used automatix to install some thing. I still think something like it is needed to solve common issues.
I have hardy AMD64 and flash just doesn't work. Using some scripts and hacks, I can get flash to show up 1/3 times. Lord knows I scour the forums trying everything to get this fixed. Just recently I install flash10 beta.
At least something like automatix could automate a lot of the hacking from a trusted source. I try to make sure what I copy from the forums makes sense, but it's definitely possible my judgment is bad.
