PPA installs are fine, if you want to run the one that is currently on 
the PPA list.

Personally, I have not changed over to the 4.4.0.x package.  I usually 
wait for the .2 or .3 version before I switch.

Because of an extended illness, I have not started "testing" 4.4.0.x on 
one of my systems.  I do this before I install the new "line" onto my 
main/default system.

It might be helpful to have someone to post the PPA "script" here so 
those who want to try it can get the correct install procedure.
