You can do this, but if you are doing this for somebody (Calvary Chapel
perhaps?) then is it fair give them an "odd ball" implementation that
only you will probably ever be able to support? I would only venture
from the Appliance CD if you have a good reason for doing so.
I'm assuming you do know about the Tryphon repositories for
Debian/Ubuntu. They've worked really well for me (except their
"darkice" binary for x86 is still broken). So you might at least
attempt to build up a test machine and see how it goes. The whole
process isn't very easy however.
I did in fact go down the Rivendell on Debian route, and after many
hours of learning how to get all the components (including MySQL and
Jack Audio) to work, I ended up with system that does some amazing stuff
that would be real hard to do on the Appliance (I seem to always quickly
break Red Hat derived systems by adding all the 3rd party repositories
I need to get the extra software packages I want that are simply
available to me on Debian and Ubuntu. Debian also seems to do in-place
major version upgrades better too. They used to have a saying that "you
only have to install it once" that was actually an excuse as it used to
be hard to install)
So the result for us is that I have an amazing system that has been
running a station for several years with just a couple of "quirks" that
we work around. The problem is that we are now no longer financially
involved with the station, but the new management is still married to me
for support, which I happy to give, but they are not real happy with the
price.
So just because you can, maybe you shouldn't.
BTW your Ubuntu 10.04 is neither "new" or "modern" (but an old
favorite), in fact it just fell out of "Long Term Support". Say goodby
to your good old Gnome Version 2.x desktop as it is gone forever except
for a partial rebirth as "Mate".

I want to run rivendell on the newest/ most modern kernel (and desktop
environment) possible
Preferably ubuntu or debian.
Right now I'm running
Gnome 2.30.2 on Ubuntu 10.04
I have very limited knowledge in linux and OS's in general, so I'm looking
for a clean easy install.
Thank you for any help you can offer with this, even if its jsut pointing
me to a webpage or something.
