Apertium on Ubuntu or Debian

There a various releases of Ubunutu :

• Dapper Drake
• Edgy Eft
• Feisty Fawn

Dapper Drake

Several programs that are needed cannot be installed easily on Dapper Drake, because the version available with apt-get are too old. We suggest to install a newer version of Ubuntu as for example Edgy Eft or Feisty Fawn

Edgy Eft
