- title Switching to Ubuntu from Mac OS X
If you have come to Ubuntu from Mac OS X, welcome, and thank you for installing Ubuntu! This document intends to give you some information, resources and terminology to help you discern the similarities and differences between OS X and Ubuntu.
目录
Installing Software
Ubuntu comes with a useful selection of applications by default, such as an office suite, web browser, multimedia applications and games. Both Mac OS X and Ubuntu use software packages to install software. Ubuntu uses a package management program to download and install programs, as opposed to downloading disk images in Mac OS X. As with Mac OS X, it is necessary to supply an administrator password to install software in Ubuntu. See Install Software for more information on how to install software from the repositories and from online sources.
Alternatives to the iLife Suite
Ubuntu offers a number of open source alternatives for users migrating from Mac OS X who use Apple's iLife suite.
iTunes
Rhythmbox is a music player with similar functionality to iTunes. It also syncs with the iPod. The Magnatune and Jamendo music stores are similar to the iTunes Music store. Proprietary audio codecs such as AAC, WMA, and MP3 can be enabled by following the directions in the Ubuntu Desktop Guide for Multimedia Codecs. Rhythmbox is shipped by default with the Ubuntu GNOME desktop. In addition, DRM Dumpster can be used to remove copy protection from tracks purchased from the iTunes Music Store.
iPhoto
F-Spot is a full-featured personal photo management application for the GNOME desktop. F-Spot is shipped by default with the Ubuntu GNOME desktop.
iMovie
Pitivi is a video editor still under early development and is not intended for regular users. Pitivi is currently recommended for developers only. Kdenlive is a non-linear video editor for KDE. Currently, Kdenlive is not available in the Ubuntu repositories, so it must be compiled from source code. Compiling source code can be difficult for new Ubuntu users, so Kdenlive is not recommended until an installable package is available from the Ubuntu repositories. Kdenlive is intended to be a user-friendly video editor which imports and exports many audio, video, and image formats. Audio and video effects are available. Kdenlive imports video from firewire DV cameras. Kino is a basic non-linear video editor which supports AVI files and raw DV files. Development for new features in Kino hasceased. Basic single-track video editing can be done with Kino. Many audio and video effects, as well as scene transitions are offered. Supports uploading to blip.tv. Kino is available in the Ubuntu Main repository.
iDVD
DeVeDe is a basic DVD authoring tool for creating DVDs from video clips that will play in PAL and NTSC DVD players. DeVeDe is available in the Ubuntu Universe repository. See DVDAuthoring for details on other solutions for DVD creation.
GarageBand
Jokosher is a multi-track audio recorder and editor. Jokosher offers a user-friendly interface with essential audio editing features such as splitting, trimming, moving, copying, and pasting clips. Jokosher is available in the Ubuntu Universe repository for Ubuntu 7.04.

Archive Formats
In OS X, the main types of compressed archives for files and folders are .dmg (Disk Image) and .sit/.sitx (Stuffit). Ubuntu cannot natively read .dmg archives, but the dmg2iso utility can convert .dmg archives to .iso. Ubuntu can read .sit, .sitx, .zip, .tar, .gz, .tar.gz, .bzip and a number of other archive formats.
Alternatives to Professional Creative Applications
Adobe Photoshop
The GIMP is a powerful drawing and photo manipulation program. GIMP is installed by default in Ubuntu.
