So, Paul, may I ask about your latest Ubuntu package? I'm thinking about 
a new computer and whether this might be the way to install Swarm. I 
don't have any experience with Ubuntu though.

You have a binary distribution for a current version of Ubuntu? Of Swarm 
2.4?

The last time I messed with Swarm from the repository, there was a 
change that Scott made: the class "Zone" was re-named "SwarmZone". Is 
that change in your distribution?

What about all the dependencies like Tcl/Tk and BLT? Are they in Ubuntu 
or in your distribution, or need to be installed separately? (In other 
words, what all does it take to make the whole thing work?)

Finally, I see your Ubuntu directories are labeled "amd64", vs. "x86 
64". Does that indicate something I should know about what hardware it 
works on?

Thanks...

Steve
