Installing debs is pretty easy - you can just double-click on them and it should open up the package installer (GDebi on mint, not sure about Ubuntu). A PPA would work though, if someone would take the job of maintaining it (and would really maintain it, too). I'm just thinking .debs might be easier for someone who's new to Linux and still used to the windows way of doing things - that's the demographic that's most likely to be hurt by this Ubuntu repository fiasco. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ HPCC Systems Open Source Big Data Platform from LexisNexis Risk Solutions Find What Matters Most in Your Big Data with HPCC Systems Open Source.
