Conduit Available via PPA

I'm torn on the idea of Conduit. I really like the concept of an all-in-one synchronisation tool for the desktop; however, whenever I've tried it I've found that I would typically use less than 10% of its features/data providers. Also, being fairly adept at scripting, I tend to Bash my way through my syncing needs.

Having said that, Conduit is still an interesting and impressive application and I'm glad to see that John Carr has set-up a PPA on Launchpad for Conduit releases. The PPA should make it much easier to test the most up to date versions with Ubuntu based Linux distributions.

Also, John Stowers has just released Conduit 0.3.8. If you've not done so already, go check it out.
