Any and all apt-related commands are likely to fail for that version of
Ubuntu, it is no longer supported.  Definitely need to stick with LTS
version of Ubuntu or keep up to date, should be on 12.10 by now.

Also need to consider formally supporting Mint now that Ubuntu is no
longer the Linux distribution of choice in the Debian-based camp.

Ruby, Perl and Python should all be considered as required
infrastructure in this day and age.  It should Just Work™.
