Oracle has deb package for Ubuntu!

Well, I was very supprised that Oracle actually has a .deb package for Ubuntu Dapper Drake believe it or not! I didn't, but I was using google, and noticed a page on oracle.com that had ubuntu listed... was wondering what it was about and, I got to the oracle download page with a package for ubuntu for Oracle XE! I was shocked! I mean... all this time and all I had to do was just go to Oracle website and actually look at what they supported. This is new within the last few months as I don't ever recall it being there.... but it may also just be that I wasn't ever looking for Ubuntu when I was going to download something from oracle. Anyway, It installed without much problem, I was missing one package for X, and my swap space was only 1022MB instead of the package required 1024MB, so instead of going through a new install yet again, I just added a swap file off the root partition and added that to my available swap for the install. After that, everything is working perfectly.
