    Thanks, thats tuto is preety good, but i have a problem(and also persists in everytime ive tried), its stucks to find the ‘Developer Tools’, remains in ‘Pending…’ status forever, and when its appear, i select and Next, then a ‘Calculating requeriments and Dependencies’ forever again… Ive tried in 12.04 ubuntu, 11.04, and the same error. Then when the packages appear i select it but it cant be installed because has some problem in dependencies. i use windows 7 too, and the same steps do without problems. I think it is some problem with connection between me and server…
