We can also provide a Linux executable, but I don't quite know how

portable an executable would be if I build it on e.g. some specific version of Ubuntu?

Attaching a Linux exe (32-bit). 12.04 LTS is two years old (older than Debian 7, which is used to build Linux binaries for GHC), so the libc requirement shouldn't be a problem. If people will complain about it, I can use some other Linux distro inside​​ a VM.

BTW, the Windows exe I sent you was 32-bit, unlike what it says on the download page.

Btw, if you want 32bit+64bit binaries for Ubuntu 12.04LTS in future, you can steal them of my PPA as well: For instance, here's how to extract the Linux executable just by using 'wget', 'ar', and 'tar': wget https://launchpad.net/~hvr/+archive/ghc/+files/cabal-install-1.20_1.20.0.1-1... ar x cabal-install-1.20_1.20.0.1-1_amd64.deb data.tar.gz tar xvzf data.tar.gz ./opt/cabal/1.20/bin/cabal (for the 32bit binary, just replace 'amd64' by 'i386')
