    That's good, but a worrying number of people are using Ubuntu versions that are no longer supported. One guy today is asking for help installing Flash Plugin on Ubuntu 9.04. I'm pretty sure there are people still on 10.04, although I think the patch will probably come to those users anyway as the package could be a dependency of server packages. Heck, my netbook is on 13.04 (and is staying off the internet until I can get a 14.04 daily on there).
    I try to treat the cause, not the symptom. I avoid the terminal in instructions, unless it's easier or necessary. My instructions will work within the Ubuntu system, instead of breaking or subverting it. Those are the three guarantees to the helpee.

    That's true.
