I had already checked Synaptic for DUC, DNS and
no-ip and came up blank. This is when I decided to post to the
group. Your assertion caused me to look further and discovered
its listed under noip2 - now for future reference just how is
one to know how these files are being listed assuming that they in
fact do exist under Synaptic. I am really making an effort to
learn my way around ubuntu and Linux in general unfortunately
there does not seem to be any definitive literature to explain to us
new folks how this all works or if there is no one seems to want
to point us in the right direction.

In spite of quite a few inquiries on the forum and in this group from
folks like me who clearly ask how to install a .tar.gz file and
reading thru tons of replies to these requests I have yet to
find any real answers. The only good answers target a specific
file but gives us absolutely no information on how to treat the
next .tar.gz file we run into. This particular one is also released
in .deb format however I was getting errors on that install which
is why I went to the .tar.gz in the first place.

Again I thank you for pointing me to Synaptic, this file is now
installed and I am grateful.

Now can anyone give any clues as to how to handle the next
.tar.gz file I run across? I would really love to learn how to do
this stuff by myself without having to resort to bother anyone
else about it.
