BLender 248a for Ubuntu

I recently came to the world of Ubuntu,
that a really nice system, that you learn to love easily.

One thing that bug me, is that the blender version available from the add/remove software, is outdated.

I have try to download the file directly at the blender official web site, and use it like I was doing on windows with blender beta, but I was looking for a more easier way to get it.

I make a search on Google to found a blender 248a deb package for Ubuntu
http://www.getdeb.net/release/3467

Now you can add a personal icon for the .blend file, locate your icon folder your using,
Mine isĀ  /usr/share/icons/hydroxygen/128×128/mimetypes
Create a new icon and call it gnome-mime-application-x-blender.png

Make blender launch with the terminal open, to be able to see the error message
Create a new launcher, in the properties change type for Application in terminal.
