After installation, I

  • Downloaded the package updates
  • Enabled the restricted NVidia drivers
  • Installed Wine 1.1.9
  • Installed K9copy and K3B through Synaptic.
  • Installed the Flash plugin by

sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree

  • Changed the font sizes to 9 (System > Preferences > Appearance > Fonts)
  • Also changed Rendering to Subpixel Smoothing (Same panel)
  • Visited Radiotime’s KISM 92.9 webpage and it (wizard style) automatically installs the three Gstreamer codecs (nice!)

and that’s it so far.
