No offense intended to the script's author, obviously, it's better than nothing, but far from perfect. Shipping an outdated version when a much better one with support for more IGPs has been released doesn't fit my description of user-friendly either. Either way, I don't really care, I'm not an Ubuntu user, but endlessly answering the same basic installation questions when it would be so simple for the distro package maintainer to just build an updated package is a waste of time. This applies to other distribution than Ubuntu.
