Maybe, maybe not. On 64bit Intel machines running 64bit linux the fedora package raises an illegal instruction error. Since the fedora package is based on the debian package this might be a problem on Ubuntu also. For recent hardware you are probably better off compiling your own from the latest ATLAS version out there.
Well, testing the deb packages would take a couple of minutes, whereas compiling and installing atlas would take easily much more, specially if you have never done it before. So I think trying the debian packages first is the least effort path :) David
