I'm a total linux newbie and am trying to get ghc6.6 installed together

format but has its own repositories which only have ghc6.4.2 at the
moment.
I'm in the same situation, and found it most convenient to download and
install a binary snapshot of GHC to /usr/local. (I also tried to get
Ubuntu to ship 6.4.2 in Dapper and 6.6 in Edgy, but both were a tad too
late. I bet 6.6.1 will arrive just after Feisty is out, too :-)
Anyway: the binary snapshots are easy and quick to install, includes a
bunch of libraries, and cabal makes it easy to add anything else.
