I was going to try it, but it requires several libraries I don't have, and I don't feel like building them from source right now (got a cold or something). I'm not using the current version of Ubuntu though, and I suspect the libraries would be in the current release, but I don't want to use the dreadful user interface on the new ones. I'm thinking about moving to Mint from Ubuntu...
Wandering, sorry. At any rate I doubt it will be a problem with Windows because nobody expects compilers and stuff there, so they'll package everything.
