Testing out ubuntu

as i am a IDE freak, always searching for the greatest comfort, i decided to test out Code::Blocks, also because i am still not completely satisfied with eclipse CDT (now version ganymede).
Code::Blocks seems to be somewhat an underdog in the IDEs, so i thought i might give it a try. 
also because its an IDE that has a free plugin to develop wxWidgets with a sort of WYSIWYG (its called wxSmith).

so i then needed to look how to install it under ubuntu. installing something that cannot be obtained via the ubuntu package manager is always something i am uncomfortable with because it often.... fails :)
and of course... code::blocks is not installable via the package manager. 
SOOOO.....

but in this case i found a nice and easy howto: "Installing Code::Blocks 8.02 on Ubuntu" that can be found here. just wanted to tell anybody interested. because it took some time until i found it... 

now i just need some time to try it out...

happy coding
