Minitube 1.0 was released on Tue 04 May, 2010. So what is Minitube?
Minitube is a native YouTube client for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X. With it you can watch YouTube videos in a new way: you type a keyword, Minitube gives you an endless video stream. Minitube does not require the Flash Player.

※ パッケージの依存関係がまだ不安定らしいので，最後の1行を忘れないほうがよい。
Alternatively, you can manually download the .deb from
HERE.
Sourcecode: http://flavio.tordini.org/files/minitube/minitube-1.0.tar.gz.
You’re free to build Minitube by yourself, modify it and redistribute it according to the
GNU General Public License.
Update: I replaced the download link for the .deb created by Linux Freedom For Live with new packages for Karmic and Lucid created by launchpad (I only uploaded them and used the original Minitube packaging for 0.9) so it should now work for everybody.
And don't forget to also check out
Minitunes, another project by Flavio Tordini (the developer of Minitube), which we wrote about 2 weeks ago.
