How to install the Linux Mint 13 MATE desktop in Ubuntu 12.10 Quantal Quetzal.

This sequence of commands will install the Linux Mint 13 MATE desktop on Ubuntu 12.10 Quantal Quetzal.

[flynn@flynn-grid-runner Desktop]$ sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://packages.mate-desktop.org/repo/ubuntu quantal main"
[flynn@flynn-grid-runner Desktop]$ sudo apt-get update
[flynn@flynn-grid-runner Desktop]$ sudo apt-get install mate-archive-keyring
[flynn@flynn-grid-runner Desktop]$ sudo apt-get update
[flynn@flynn-grid-runner Desktop]$ sudo apt-get install mate-core
[flynn@flynn-grid-runner Desktop]$ sudo apt-get install mate-desktop-environment

This desktop as I have written before is an awesome replacement for the default Unity desktop and deserves to be your default desktop environment.
