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.

Amen!
I liked the idea of Automatix, I didn't like the non-Debian way in which it was implemented.
Besides, I'm even somewhat leary of using backports on an Etch installation, which is why I have use Etch to work, Lenny to play, and Sid to learn.
Of course, Ubuntu isn't Debian stable either.
