I'll try and figure out this one. Hopefully there's an easy way to do 
it, and hopefully the two instances won't create conflicts.

Ubuntu 9.04 (which is the current latest) comes with v1.1.11 and I want 
to keep the admin effort at a minimum (I manage the system in my spare 
time - which is pretty scarce), so compiling / installing other versions 
is not desirable.
