Debian & Ubuntu users don’t have to deal with messy .deb files listed above, just edit your /etc/apt/sources.list file and add the following lines   

deb http://www.getdropbox.com/static/ubuntu hardy main<br /> deb-src http://www.getdropbox.com/static/ubuntu hardy main

and you can get it via apt-get or Synaptic through DropBox’s repository.
