Thanks Luiz. This kind of helpful support is one of the things I love about the Linux community. Yet I can't help thinking that another of the things that I love about most Linux distros is the added confidence one gets when installing software from known repositories, a big contrast with Windows, where one goes to arbitrary sites for applications, hoping there's no malware included.
It would not be difficult for an evil-minded person to generate an unofficial .iso, include a trojan, and post a link to it in forums or on Launchpad.
This solution needs to be officially provided by Canonical. And prominently featured on the download page.
