Gerir los depauses

De qué son los depauses ?

Thousands of programs are freely available to install on Kubuntu. These programs are stored in software archives (repositories) and are made available for installation over the Internet. This makes it easy to install new programs in Kubuntu. It is also secure, because each program is built specifically for Kubuntu and is checked thoroughly before it is installed. Kubuntu repositories are categorized into four groups:

  • Principal

  • Restrench

  • Univèrse

  • Multivèrse

Two factors are used to determine categories:

  • The level of support that software development teams provide for a program

  • Lo nivèl de conformitat d'aqueste programa a la filosofia dels logicials liures

More information about the Repositories is available on the Ubuntu website.

The standard Kubuntu LiveCD contains some software from the Main and Restricted categories. Once a system has information about the Internet-based locations for these repositories, more programs are available for installation. Using the software package management tools installed by default, it is possible to discover, install and update any piece of software directly over the Internet, without the need for the LiveCD.
