SABnzbd+ Install, Setup, and Configuration Guide for Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx) at
march 2011 by mlednor
This is my long time coming, (updated) Install, Setup, and Configuration guide for SABnzbd+ on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx). This guide should also be easily adaptable for Ubuntu derived distributions (distros) like Linux Mint 9 (Isadora), Linux Mint 10 (Julia) and somewhat close for Debian and Debian based distros like Debian Squeeze, aptosid, and Linux Mint Debian Edition (LMDE).
This guide will be actively maintained and updated throughout the life of the Ubuntu 10.04 Long Term Support (Lucid Lynx) release (about two years). This is my supported and recommended operating system so I will not be doing specific guides for Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat), 11.04 (Natty Narwhal), or for any subsequent releases until Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (though this guide will likely be easily adaptable for the interim releases).
Since my last guide it’s become a lot easier to get SABnzbd+ up and running on an Ubuntu based system. To reflect that I’ve expanded this guide to include installing a multi-threaded par2 file checker, added a supplemental software list, and I have worked to polish up the guide even further (like adding select screen shots!).
For those that are not familiar, SABnzbd+ which, I read as “SAB-newzbin” (though “SAB-nzb-daemon plus” is probably much closer to correct!), is a Usenet client. It is highly automated, robust, and once set up can run and run with minimal user intervention.
SABnzbd+ is a mature, stable, and feature complete free and open source project which is quickly approaching its sixth major release.
Like my last SABnzbd+ guide, as well as my Sick Beard, and RAID 5 & 6 guides, this guide avoids the command line and is written in casual English in an effort to be accessible by as many as possible. I do not think Ubuntu is a nerds only operating system, and I write guides that even novices should be able to understand (see my About page for more information).

Sick Beard Install, Setup, and Configuration Guide for Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx) at
march 2011 by mlednor
Greetings, this is an updated Install, Setup, and Configuration guide for Sick Beard on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx). This guide should also be easily adapted to other GNU/Linux distributions like Linux Mint 9 (Isadora), Linux Mint 10 (Julia), Xubuntu, Kubuntu, and Lubuntu and somewhat close for Debian Squeeze, aptosid, Linx Mint Debian Edition (LMDE) and any other Debian (and even Gnome) based distos.
This guide will be actively maintained and updated throughout the two year life of the Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx) release. Ubuntu 10.04 LTS is my supported and recommended operating system so I will not be doing specific guides for Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat), 11.04 (Natty Narwhal), or for any subsequent releases until Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (though this guide should be easily adaptable for any interim releases).
