In February 2011 Bluefish 2.0.3 was released. This mini-guide demonstrates how to build this version from source under Ubuntu and has been tested most recently under Natty Narwhal. First we need to remove the repository version if it has been installed:
sudo apt-get remove bluefish
Next download some compiling tools and dependencies:
sudo apt-get install build-essential checkinstall libart-2.0-dev libaspell-dev \ libbonobo2-dev libbonoboui2-dev libgail-dev libgnome-keyring-dev libgnome2-dev \ libgnomecanvas2-dev libgnomeui-dev libpcre3-dev libpcrecpp0 libpopt-dev \ libgvfscommon-dev libgucharmap2-dev libenchant-dev intltool
Next download the source code, open the tarball and compile and install it with the following single command:
cd $HOME && \ wget http://bluefish.mrball.net/stable/source/bluefish-2.0.3.tar.bz2 && \ tar xjvf bluefish-2.0.3.tar.bz2 && cd bluefish-2.0.3 && \ ./configure && make && \ sudo checkinstall --fstrans=no --pakdir "$HOME/Desktop" --backup=no \ --deldoc=yes --deldesc=yes --delspec=yes --default --pkgversion "2.0.3" && \ make distclean

I don’t know how I missed this but it is hilarious if you are an open source geek. ;)

Pithos is a Pandora client for the GNOME Desktop. It is extremely lightweight and best of all it allows me to skip as many songs as I want on Ubuntu.
Features currently supported:
To install it type the following in terminal:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kevin-mehall/pithos-daily
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install pithos
