Hi,

There's no need to use a terminal to do the package install for RedNotebook, it will show up in the graphical package manager too. In fact, you can perform the whole process in either graphical or command-line tools.

I've recently added SSL support to the whole repository too. Providing you have the apt-transport-https package installed, you can use https://robin.powdarrmonkey.net/ubuntu as your repository source (also works for fetching the key).

About Vivek

LinuxHub is an effort to make the lives of new linux users as simple as possible. Although it will focus extensively on using Ubuntu (@this moment Jaunty Jackalope), I am sure all the help and tutorials can be applied across other distros of Linux. We will try not only to cover state of art How-Tos but also some fun stuff like pimping up your Ubuntu and other similar posts. Time to time we might also cover some major news story in the world of Linux. Please let us know what you feel about LinuxHub by dropping us your comments/remarks.
