Hi Andy I'm pleased that you are finding RRAbuntu handy. The version that you are using was made about 2010. I used Ubuntu Customization Kit (UCK) to create it. With some very cleaver scripting by Frederick Henderson we created it. I have tried several times to recreate RRAbuntu on later versions for Ubuntu... but have become frustrated by the new unity interface. I have been experimenting with my new desktop of choice Linux Mint but have been unable to get the remastering to work.
Transitioning from Rivendell 1.7.x series to Rivendell 2.x.x can be quite tricky. If you have Changed the admin user password on 1.7.x versions of Rivendell you need to change to no password or you might get locked out of your system. I think someone might have made some more comprehensive notes about the transition... It might even be in the main Rivendell Docs.
