This is the first post in a hopefully long running series about the FlippedWEB team’s adventures with technology, mostly dealing with linux and Open Source.

This isn’t exactly the most groundbreaking bit of hackery ever, but if you happen to be a linux user, it sure can be funny!

I have just finished setting up our very own Ubuntu repo over at packages.flippedweb.com. There are several cool packages in it, and I’ll be sure to consolidate whichever cool packages I find on the net. If you happen to have an suggestions, please leave a comment or email me at dan@flippedweb.com.

If you would actually like to use the repository in Ubuntu (feisty), please add the following lines to your /etc/apt/sources.list

## These should just be general packages for the LATEST Ubuntu release.
deb http://packages.flippedweb.com/ ubuntu flipped
deb-src http://packages.flippedweb.com/ ubuntu flipped

You should also add my public key (if you trust me) to verify the packages you download.

wget http://packages.flippedweb.com/dan.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add -

Then you can do a quick sudo apt-get update and enjoy whatever packages we have!
