automatix had few options but it does install opera and write to ntfs permissions for ya... synaptics and adept have a lot more. i have not tried easy ubuntu yet. as for mplayer... it gives problems at my end... maybe i end up installing way too many codecs that they start conflicting.
Ubuntu help required

Enabling Extra Repositories
there are steps there to help add more Repositories.. kinda like update websites other than that from your normal ubuntu..
after adding them, u can either use the synaptic package manager to install new software or try this command line in the terminal.
sudo aptitude install automatix2
that should do it..
btw.. there are a lot of things in that website thats very helpful.. i suggest a read.. ubuntu will become loads easier then..
