Hi All,

First time Leo user here, evaluating the product on an Ubuntu system.

I'm a pretty experienced Linux user.  I just wanted to try the package, and 
didn't want to go through the full build from source cycle.  So I tried 
following the main installation instructions for Linux 
<http://leoeditor.com/installing.html#installing-from-a-debian-package>.  I 
encountered the following errors:

$ sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list
$ tail -4 /etc/apt/sources.list

## Repositories required for Leo installation:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/villemvainio/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/villemvainio/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main


$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:davy39/ppa
$ sudo apt-get install leo
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package leo

After some google searches, and finding this group/BB, I came across Davey 
Cottet's instructions 
<https://groups.google.com/forum/#%21topic/leo-editor/AwYeds6PSn4>.  This 
time, adding the suggested repository worked.  After the update, I ran 
through a VERY extensive installation (due, no doubt, to all the required 
Python infrastructure).

So... Thanks VERY much, Davey!  I know building packages like this takes a 
lot of work.

I suggest that the installation instruction page be updated?

Other than that, first impressions are... WOW!  This is impressive.  I'm 
mostly looking for the PIM features, but now intend to explore the GUI 
development environment as well.  Very impressive work.  My hat is tipped!
