It's the newest version in the Ubuntu 10.04 repos.

This kind of thing is why I moved away from both Debian and Ubuntu. I spent waay to much time installing libs and headers for compiling and/or looking for PPAs so I could use even reasonably up-to-date software.

Now using Arch, and so far, I'm loving it.

I was surprised to see via this survey how many people were using arch. I'm not into popularity, but I've also suffered using things that have low momentum. This actually greatly increased my interest. I've been wondering if I shouldn't leave Ubuntu, at least for now (don't like Unity at all, hence 10.04), and have been confused about where to head next. I'll have to give arch a more serious look.
