[Tfug] Ubuntu noninteractive aptitude mysql install

[Terence Rudkin]

do
$> sudo visudo

then add at bottom of  the file
chad ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/apt-get

exit wit :wq

chad is the user that will be running apt-get

Now any new logins will be able to use apt-get with
    $> sudo apt-get
with no prompts for root password
