Thanks for the answers

I used to go the configure/make/make install path everytime back in the 90s
when I was a Linux-only user. I hopeI could dust the rust of some of that
all skills ;)

So, I'll get myself a fresh piece of Ubuntu and download the source . .I
guess I should blog about it to spread some information about how to do it
(if there are no documents in the wiki already of course?)

Stefan
