And if I'm on 64-bit ubuntu, do 64-bit versions of apps automatically get installed if there is one available (using the...

Thanks Doug S and Cheesemil. I had got confused with XAMPP and LAMP. As far as I can work out, it seems that XAMPP is better for noobs so I'll uninstall LAMPP and install XAMPP.

Hi, previously I have used XAMPP on windows for website development but I want to use in in Linux. So I installed the LAMP server using...

sudo apt-get install lamp-server^

Hi, I need a particular version of an app. The app appears to be included in one of the standard repositories but it is an old version. I have added the repository that includes the bleeding edge...

Thanks for all your answers.

"dpkg-query -s grass" Says "Architecture: amd64".

Just to be clear, can you someone confirm that this is saying that it is the GRASS software that is amd64 (and not...

I deleted ubuntu 9.10 and installed 9.04 instead (below 137GB - thanks for that tip). It works perfectly. I then used the upgrade thing from within 9.04 to upgrade to 9.10 and it still works. I guess...
