Hi :)

I just installed Ubuntu 10.10 and ran through the Community Documentation page
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu

At the bottom it asks to wget 
w32codecs_20071007-0medibuntu2.1_i386.deb
and then install that using dpkg.  However when i had a look at the page that the wget command sent me to
http://packages.medibuntu.org/pool/non-free/w/w32codecs/
it looked as though there were several newer versions such as 
w32codecs_20110131-0.1medibuntu1_i386.deb

Does the Community Documentation need updating?  Do i have the latest w32codecs now that i have followed the advice on the page?  Is dpkg the best option for installing or would apt-get or Synaptic Package Manager be better to ensure updates happen?
Please let me know
Many regards from
Tom :)
