Hi Glenn, I will run through the Ubuntu instructions a couple times myself this week. I bet I'll get stuck in the same spots :) Last week I removed a bunch of things from the RedHat instructions like hardcoded version numbers, and I bet we've got some conflicts like that remaining in the Ubuntu instructions. If you don't mind standing by, I'll give it a try here on a fresh Ubuntu VM. Best, David.
