At Sourceforge's download page, a full minute goes by without a download. So I right-click to save the link and I see:
I don't belive Scibuntu is written in HTML. So I copy and paste it using Nano and run scibuntu.sh:
~/tmp$ ./scibuntu.sh
./scibuntu.sh: line 12: syntax error near unexpected token `)'
./scibuntu.sh: line 12: `dapper repository), '
I download the file as is and I rename the HTM file to scibuntu.sh. I run it as a user and it instructs me to run it under sudo, which I promptly do. It installs without a hitch, except that the only new programs that were accessible from the Gnome menu were Kile and the Sun Java 5.0 Web Start. It turns out when I Ctrl-C'd in the middle of the first installation (I didn't want to install Acrobat), my package manager never removed the lock file it created, and the Scibuntu installation kept skipping packages until the package manager was available.
Total installation time was 63 minutes.
