Re: [X2go-dev] documentation fixes

I would recommend some changes to the documentation:

thank you for your suggestions. It is great to see an author of the German Linux Magazin and LinuxUser actually sends in fixes. (Though I probably missed contributions of other authors, because I am not subscribed to certain lists.)

• For installing the package key on Ubuntu and probably Debian, the following command is easier than the one in the documentation: apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com C509840B96F89133

    apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver x-hkp://pool.sks-keyservers.net

This pool also includes keyserver.ubuntu.com [1] which seems to run an old version of the server (1.0.10) though.

• For adding the apt archive, I recommend using echo "deb http://x2go.obviously-nice.de/deb/ lenny main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/x2go.list instead of adding to sources.list directly.

This option is available since November 2005 (apt 0.6.43) and should be safe to use.

    apt (0.6.43) unstable; urgency=medium

      * added support for "/etc/apt/sources.list.d" directory 
        (closes: #66325)

Do you know if it is safe to assume that /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ exists? It should be since 2006 (apt 0.6.43.3).

    * debian/apt.dirs: create /etc/apt/sources.list.d 

Thanks,

Paul
