Python 2.6 on Ubuntu Linux 12.04 --

Hey there everyone, Ubuntu removed Python 2.6 from their repositories with the 12.04 LTS release --

This class requires Python 2.6 (based on the class notes) and the install instructions for Linux assume that 2.6 is in the repositories.

I made some notes as I went through the process of installing python and though, by no means, is mine the only way to accomplish this, anyone who gets stuck is welcome to take a look at my notes.
