.deb packages

Ok, I think this is still a minor typo problem.

Raymond, in your first attempt I believe you were missing the ".deb" at the
end. In the latest one, you need to add a space between "-i" and the
filename.

Just to make sure, try copy and pasting this line into your terminal and
see if it works.

sudo dpkg -i /home/raymond/Downloads/logmein-hamachi_2.1.0.136-1_amd64.deb

You should also be able to use your filemanager, go to the downloads folder
and simply double-click the .deb file to open the installer.
