Hi Troy ,
some of these items are customized install packages of linux OS's that
have been modified to include the Rivendell application. They often
refer to them here as appliances.
You have already installed and set up ubuntu, there is also an option if
you go through the wiki to just add new repositories (( I believe it
used to be tryphon.org within the wiki text )software online install
package sites) that it specifies, I believe the last one was 1.7.x which
is an older version but will get you started if that is what you would
like to do without having to reinstall the OS.
There are a couple of the install CD/DVD packages Rivendell 2.x.x and
Centos 5.6 and/or Centos 6.0 ( not sure if this one is available yet or
not). |There is also an older openSUSE version of linux with RD included
in it as well; but beware these are done by pros here and have been
customized for specific uses and may not include a lot of the user
friendlier GUI programs that you might read about elsewhere when trying
to understand linux. RRubuntu is a customized version installer package
developed by the chaps here that does the same thing but installs RD 2
series with ubuntu OS. Again this is custom for performance and a lot of
linux GUI's may not be available to someone learning linux as well.
The developers may have a script that will do the same thing and allow
you to install without redoing your ubuntu OS completely; maybe Geoff
could confirm that??
The last time I checked the online user manual, it was quite
informative, but again it was only up to date to rivendell 1.7 series
versions.

I'm with you on that one, I'd definitely go with RRAbuntu,

Would it be easier for a first time user to try RRAbuntu or the
RDappliance versions of Rivendell?
Cheers
