+=== Ubuntu ===
+
+As of January 2009, the latest `git` release is 1.6.1. As there are many improvements compared with older releases (notably, a single executable), it is advisable to use this version instead of the ones provided in the Ubuntu release repositories. There is [https://launchpad.net/~smartlounge/+archive a personal package archive] that provides `git` 1.6.1 backports to all Ubuntu releases since Hardy.
+
+Installation instructions:  
+ 1. add the following line to `/etc/apt/sources.list` (substituting `UBUNTU_RELEASE_NAME` with the Ubuntu release you are using):
  {{{
+deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/smartlounge/ubuntu UBUNTU_RELEASE_NAME main
+ }}}
+ 1. install `git`:
+ {{{
+$ apt-get update
 $ apt-get install git
  }}}
+ 1. verify that the correct version was installed:
+ {{{
+$ git --version
+git version 1.6.1
+ }}}
