This week, in our Linux Page (in Spanish), Frank has added an interesting post about Project Neon which is the best solution for people who desire to have the new nightly builds service for Amarok. Following the simple instructions contained in Project Neon you will able to enjoy the last developing packages for Amarok 2.0 without waiting the release of the stable version. Project Neon also provides simple instructions to install Amarok 2.0 on your Ubuntu in just five minutes. Last but not least, it is necessary to remember that Amarok 2.0 is not in its final version yet and it could potentially create some serious problems on your PC. To install it just add:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/project-neon/ubuntu hardy main
in your sources (/etc/apt/sources.list) and the install it using the following command lines:
$ sudo apt-get uptdate
$ sudo apt-get install amarok-nightly
Enjoy it! 
You have a really high google rating… so you should fix your typo…
sudo apt-get uptdate
should be
sudo apt-get update
Other than that, great link to a cool ppa repo.
Only on Hardy? Very sad – or perhaps you just wrote the article to suit hardy users so that it will be very quicly outdated?
Or is Neon a ‘hardy only’ project?
