nessus 3 or 2.2.10

[standingchair]

Hello Ubuntu forums,

I just installed Nessus to my system from the repos

sudo apt-get install nessus

This installed Nessus version 2.2.10. I wanted the latest version, but now I have a couple of questions about this.

My system is running he latest version of Crunchbang Linux, which is based on Ubuntu 8.10. The Nessus web site has a file available for Ubuntu 8.04 and one for Debian 4. Which should I download? Will the file for Ubuntu 8.04 work for 8.10? The .deb should work right? Also, do I have to remove my current version of Nessus?

Would these lines work to remove nessus?

sudo apt-get remove nessus

also,

sudo apt-get remove nessusd


Thanks guys and gals! I appreciate the help.

I was getting ready to install Nessus today myself and also noticed the version number difference in what is in the repos and what is on the Nessus website.

I am going to try the one from the website (version 3) to see if it works.
