[Blink] Blink Linux installation problems

[Gianguido Piani]

Dear Tijmen,

thanks for the very quick reply.

Software updating is so fundamental that compatibility with the most
recent versions is a must. It is now so extremely difficult to find a
VoIP client for Linux, even just for basic function such as calling a
PSTN number over a proxy/ provider, that blink would be a very welcome
solution. 

We need a cheap, quick and dirty VoIP solution, but one that works in
all environments.

The last Ubuntu versions have for themselves several questionable
issues, but full compatibility at least with Debian must be ensured.
