I don't know if these are useful for anyone use, but I needed to deploy Freenet across several machines last night, so I made up a quick Ubuntu package.
http://sq7.org/colin/freenet.deb After downloading, you can install with dpkg -i freenet.deb. This will then run the updater and pull in the newest version. You can build your own package by downloading http://sq7.org/colin/freenet.tgz and then running dpkg-deb --build freenet Perhaps one day Freenet will run a Ubuntu/Debian repository that people can pull updates from, but until then, this made the install faster on my side. -CPD
