Hi, I'm new in the forum and have just installed Linux Mint after one year using Ubuntu.
One of the features of LM that attracted me most was that, being compatible with Ubuntu's packages and repositories, LM however comes with some propietary technologies (like Flash Player and some codecs) out of the box, whereas in Ubuntu you have to install them. But when in Ubuntu you install a package called ubuntu-restricted-extras, you have not only that, but also some things that LM doesn't, like the Microsoft propietary fonts (like Times New Roman) and maybe other things that I don't exactly now.
So I have some questions:
-Which things does an Ubuntu with ubuntu-restricted-extras have, that LM doesn't out of the box?
-Which packages do I have to install in LM to have the same things that would have in Ubuntu with that package?
-Can I install the ubuntu-restricted-extras package in LM?
Thanks.

Downloading the ubuntu-restricted-extras package itself wont help you. Those are the ones you need to download and install in your offline.
