PPA?
I am thinking of using qtstalker. The version in the Lucid repositories
mthat I installed is .32 but the latest stable version is .36. A PPA has been setup. I read through the docs on how to use a PPA, but have one question. If I install .36 from the PPA will it update my installed .32 or will it install a new copy.

It should update your existing one. You might want to know about ppa-purge which is a very useful utility to get rid of a ppa and restore everything back as it was, in case you decide you want to go back.

Colin Colin, Thanks for the info. I use Lucid and I see that ppa-purge is only in the Maverick repositories. How hard would it be to install it on Lucid if I decided I wanted to use it? As you can probably tell from my questions I mostly install software from the official repositories.
