I've prepared Windows, Debian (and thus, Ubuntu) and Redhat (Fedora, CentOS, etc.) binary packages.

I don't seem to see a link to a faq or install guide either.... a little bit of help for those of us who aren't quite so well versed with linux would be nice.

I'm using Ubuntu Ibex (8.10) 64-bit, so I can't install the .deb package. Downloaded the tar.gz, unpacked it, looked for \configure\, and it's not there.
