Newbies do not need this feature, it's far too dangerous to let them do it, (security-wise and support-wise), intermediate users can already do it through a automatically installed GUI and through the command line.

Annoying nitpicking, I know, but "yes" should have been "Install" and "no" should have been "Don't install". No idea about the security thing, though :) “wiki.earobinson.org is trying to add a repository if this is a trusted website please click yes otherwise click no”

Ubuntu should not be as stupid as windows. "A warning" really means: a screen 'everyone' will blindly click ok on. It won't actually do anything productive. If we do add this ability, I hope *you* personally plan on providing support to every single person who is bitten by this, including helping them recreate whatever data they've lost due to maliciousness. Oh, and you may have to untarnish the reputation of Linux as more secure than windows as well. Good luck with that. HELLLLL no.

It would definitely make life easier and I'd like to add the ability to Linux App Finder. I already have the code in place.
