Ubuntu: Good and Bad. (Was: 13th December "Smack Down" Meeting)

>>So, what is the 'PPA'?

PPA is a way to install newer packages than the ones available in the repo
for your current distro. Since some of the stuff in the 10.04 repo is older,
I add the PPA of whatever newer package I want, and install from there.

Very simple to use, 3 commands from terminal and away you go.
