sudo apt-get install made my day

 

I just have installed Ubuntu 10.10 on an instance of an Oracle VM VirtualBox on my Windows 7 machine when I tried to install the prerequisites of mahout (http://mahout.apache.org/). So I opened the Terminal app, keyed in java and it suggests that I should use sudo apt-get install <package> to initiate the installation which I did.

Now in the next steps of mahout install procedure I saw the need for subversion. So I tried keying in svn and again Ubuntu suggests the use of sudo apt-get install <package>.

Very well indeed, this suggestion saved me time where to find the correct installers, time to download them, and fire up the installation.
