+You can install DVD-o-matic on Ubuntu 12.04 (‘Precise Pangolin’) or
+12.10 (‘Quantal Quetzal’) using <code>.deb</code> packages. Simply
+download the appropriate package from <ulink
+url="http://carlh.net/software/dvdomatic">http://carlh.net</ulink> and
+double-click it. Ubuntu will install the necessary bits and pieces
+and set DVD-o-matic up for you.
