Also, don't build stuff as root and DON'T RUN YOUR FREAKING WEBSERVER AS ROOT.

Dude, "apt-get update" downloads new package lists from the repositories, nothing gets patched. Hell, the Ubuntu repositories don't even include deltas. You should run `apt-get dist-upgrade` (which is like upgrade except it allows the removal of conflicting packages) followed by `do-release-upgrade` because your version was already nearing EOL when you posted this video.

This video is excellent introduction in installing node.js, not so good for what you can do with node.js or an introduction to it.  Very good video though
