[dundee] Quick Tip: Debian specific geddeb.net

[Lee Hughes]

just a quick note from the tin foil hat brigade, if you using
'alien' repositories for packages, then you may run the
risk of breaching your systems security ;-).

I'm sure the getdeb people are cool! but always beware!

you can add getdeb.net to your repository source and use apt-get, apttitude or synaptic to update and retrieve 
applications.

 sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

Put in the following on a new line at the end of the file:
 deb http://ubuntu.org.ua/ getdeb/
 Save the file and exit.
 Now run the following in the terminal:
 sudo apt-get update
 sudo apt-get upgrade
Note: The site has occasional downtime.
If running sudo apt-get update gives you 404 Errors relating to http://ubuntu.org.ua/, don't panic. 
Simply be patient and try rerunning sudo apt-get update later in the day.
