It's older on Linux, but not really problematic on a desktop.  Shouldn't
be anyway. 

You can install the beta.  The problem is that it's only available in
i386 so if you have an x86_64, you have to install various dependencies. 


However, haven't had any issues with it, aside from that of needing the
386 libraries.
