This was forked from Captain Sensible's original. I am removing some of the things I don't think are necessary, and adding a few that I think are necessary. I will be creating two update scripts, one for desktop and one for Ubuntu server. All are intended for virtual machines running on either KVM or VMWare hosts.

A post installation script for fresh installs of Xubuntu 16.04 LTS

A lazy installation for repair shops or noobs

HOWTO:
