Debian Questions

[Robert Spangler]

I got Virtual Box installed.

Now, I want to use the SVN versions of Firefox and Orca.  Since they are 
instlaled through Debian, should I aptitude remove them first?  When I 
install the SVN source versions, how will the APT system know not to 
give me its versions?
