Please Don't Forget To Blink!

Or... Installing Blink on Linux Mint 17.2 (32 bits)
This week because of a work project, I had to install one of those.
Can't even remember when was the last time I used one, we mostly moved to an all Skype ensemble, both at work as well as for personal use.
Way back when I was using soft-phones in Linux, the soft-phone that you had to use was Ekiga.
But that was years ago, so, after a bit of research, I've settled for Blink, which seemed rather nice and full featured.

Installation was pretty straight forward:

Created the repo:
sudo emacs /etc/apt/sources.list.d/blink.list

With this:
deb http://ag-projects.com/ubuntu trusty main

D'loaded and installed the repo GPG key:
wget http://download.ag-projects.com/agp-debian-gpg.key
sudo apt-key add agp-debian-gpg.key


Updated and installed Blink:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install blink


stilgar > sudo apt-get install blink
