Dear Tony, > > Could someone kindly either give me the incantation to install this > .deb, or point me at a concise resource containing the basic package > management information. > As far as I remember, I downloaded the key (save the file from the browser) to your download directory. Then run the command wget -q -O - https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub | sudo apt-key add - Then I think I did aptitude install google-chrome-stable Aptitude will add the dependencies and periodically it will download chome updates for you.
