if there are any diggers in here, don't forget to digg and support the poster.

(no I am not the poster, I haven't learned how to make .debs yet)

I have installed it on intrepid 64 and everything seems fine

Personally, I'll wait for getdeb.net to make theirs - sorry but they're a more trusable source.

Yeah, you should always be wary of downloading .debs from the web. It would be very easy for someone to put something malicious in a deb.

Saying that, Ubuntus main weakness is that the software in the respositories is normally not the latest version. Waiting 6 months to get the latest version of some apps sucks.

ubuntu is not for you then. try a rolling release distro, like arch.

If a more trustable source is what your looking for then see fabien tassins ppa.
