However, if you go to http://www.postgresql.org/download/linux then it points you right to EnterpriseDB to download a bin installer. So your choices are: 1) Use apt-get: This won't give you 9.0 yet (I think 10.04 only has 8.4) 2) Build it yourself (I'm not enough of a hacker to do this, probably the case with most "novice" users) 3) One click installer maintained by EDB. 4) Some other repository out there? Dunno if anyone maintains one. I agree, EDB needs to make this "just work" on the latest Ubuntu.
