Re: [Condor-users] Quick Start Vanilla Condor on Ubuntu 10.04

[Lukas Slebodnik <slebodnik@xxxxxxxx>]

If you want upgrade to newer version of condor using apt-get, then you could 
try to install condor from Condor Debian Repository managed by Condor project 
team. I don't know how it is compatible with ubuntu, but you can try it and then
share experiences
