From term Type: bzr branch bzr://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/emacs/trunk
this will Download the trunk of the latest Emacs in a folder near YOU then to compile
cp -R /home/<your-home-folder>/trunk /usr/local/emacs-24.0.50/
cd /usr/local/emacs-24.0.50/
Start compile
(a little note you may need to run
sudo sh autogen.sh
or if logged in as root
sh autogen.sh) you should be ready now run or type
./configure
# As I'd already run ./configure I run the following to restart afresh
make distclean && ./configure
make
src/emacs -Q
# to test the freshly installed eMacs24
make install
make clean
# I could no longer find src/emacs I later found it in
ls -l /usr/local/bin/emacs-24.0.50
there you have it from now on run
/usr/local/bin/emacs-24.0.50

This gives you emacs-24.0.50.1 with CEDET, Auto-complete, pymacs, rope-macs,YASnippet, org-mode and the rest of the kitchen sink.

If you get any ERRORs please post the info in your comments I will do my best to help you.

Migrate Ubuntu 9.04 to 10.10

Warning this is dangerous and should be treated with the utmost caution I would suggest.
1) Backup copy of /etc folder
2) Backup all . folders in home folder
3) Don't forget any folders you might have there for specific apps
4) Check /opt to see what's in there you might need to re-install specific versions
5) For emacs copy .emacs and .emacs.d in home folder and make sure you aware of all you've added to emacs

After install my samba shares are not working as samba is not creating /etc/samba/smbpasswd I've tried touching the file and setting perms to 644 to no avail when I smbpasswd -a no errors.
Searched google etc. but
