Fix for: How can I differentiate between the different Emacs packages on Ubuntu?

Low Risk

Emacs snapshot is the CVS version of Emacs. GTK is compiled with GTK support. NOX means compiled without X support. vNN are the version numbers. Note the latest stable release of GNU Emacs is 23.1. emacs-snapshot is the closest to this.
