 Key libraries to focus on: GEOS, GDAL. Issues related to these two libraries will dictate the method you choose to use to install PostGIS 2.0.

 '''The bad news:''' it still installs older versions of libGDAL and libGEOS than are recommended in the [wiki:UsersWikiPostgreSQLPostGIS Support Matrix]. 
 
-This install will install libGDAL 1.7, instead of the recommended 1.9. 
+The packages above install will install libGDAL 1.7, instead of the recommended 1.9. 
 
 First tricky thing: the existing Precise PPA for libGDAL 1.9 has been built to depend on libGEOS 3.3.2, and libGEOS 3.3.3 is listed as the preferred library in the Support Matrix.

 These are the instructions for building geos 3.3.3, based on instructions found elsewhere on trac.osgeo.org with some additions determined through trial and error:
