smxi - Little known utility that makes setting up a Debian based distro a breeze
Recently I needed a hard drive upgrade, and after trying out Xubuntu 14.04, I decided to stick with Crunchbang 11: http://crunchbang.org/ With a fresh installation, I needed to quickly get the applications that weren't an apt-get away.
Typically after installing a Linux distro, you've got to install programs such as Nvidia drivers, Virtualbox non-ose + extensions, Flash, Libreoffice, Java. Since these tend to be the more complicated installations, typically you would need to search "Distro install latest nvidia" and follow the related tutorial.
With smxi (http://smxi.org/), it can take care of all of that for you in a friendly, text based format. Here's a guide showing how to set smxi up in Crunchbang: http://crunchbang.org/forums/viewtopic.php?id=22740
smxi started as a script to solve the frequent repetitive questions that often appear on IRC channels and has grown since then.
