In show number 4 I incorrectly stated that apt-get can be used to install local *.deb files. While this is technically true, it’s not what I was getting at. To install local *.deb files it’s much easier to use the dpkg application as follows:

dpkg -i packagename.deb

Thanks to Justin for pointing that out. Man, I can’t get away with anything around here!
