There used to be a lot of useful information in the Rivendell groups mailing list archive as well; however, unless someone here downloaded a zip of the archive and can make it available via ftp or something like that it may not be available to you, as there was a warning that the archive was being unavailable as of Aug 31, 2011

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.

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