Ubuntu Tweak Got Reviewed by Softpedia
April 4th, 2009 | by TualatriX |I’m delighted that Softpedia reviewed Ubuntu Tweak and gave a high ratings for it.
Softpedia.com seems the world’s largest free software information site. It has a Linux special column and I often go to see the latest news and reviews in the Linux world.
The editor of Softpedia.com had an in-depth review of the latest Ubuntu Tweak 0.4.6. It talks every feature about Ubuntu Tweak. So if you want to take an overview of Ubuntu Tweak, just see the review:

The review is also listed in the frontpage of Linux Softpedia.
Well, it’s time to release the next version of Ubuntu Tweak. It will be more compatible with the upcoming Ubuntu 9.04.

很多时候我们会用CD安装更新的系统而不是通过在线升级,这样的话第三方软件包(比如MSN/QQ,Mplayer等等)就会丢失。虽然用apt-get或新立得重新安装并不难,但恐怕会耗费时间。
为什么不把这些软件包备份到一个在安装时不会被格式化或者重写的分区呢,比如/home,windows分区甚至是U盘?
等我们安装完系统之后,用一个单文件的小工具就可以恢复这些软件包了。
或许在apt-get软件依赖性分析的帮助下,把这些软件包及其依赖包从/usr/里给提取出来并不难吧?
能让ubuntu tweaks增加这种备份功能吗?
为了使老外们也能看懂,我写了下面的英文建议,呵呵:
You knokw sometimes we have to install a newer version of ubuntu by installing from CD or Hard disk rather than upgrading from the old version.By doing that,all those software which are not included in the CD(such as MSN/QQ,Mplayer,Google Gadget and off cource Ubuntu tweak itself) will disappear.
Although it is easy to apt-get these package from the Internet,but it may cost much time to do that.
Then why can’t we make an access to backup these package to a partation which will not be re-formatted(/home,windows partation or even Flash disk)or over written?
And after the installation of newer Ubuntu is finished,we can use a simple software to recovery our package.
Maybe it is possible to copy those files in /usr/bin,/usr/share,/usr/lib and dependant packages with the dependence analysis of apt-get.
Can Ubuntu tweak bring a new feature like this?

Hi, Bob.
这是个好主意。不过提取文件来生成deb包似乎不是很好办。或许可以通过其他途径来实现。谢谢你!
