Hello again,

Well, it was easier than I thought. I clicked their download link for 
the .deb package and up popped a dialog asking if I wanted to run the 
Package Manger to install. I chose to save the file, and then selected 
Open File in Firefox's download manager and it installed with no 
problem. So, I just learned that there is in fact a GUI installer for 
.deb packages in Ubuntu. It even handled downloading the dependencies 
for me. Very nice!

Now to check to see if Real Player works.

Later, Ray Parrish
