Although installing some sort of "control panel"-type of software also abstracts away pieces and can hinder learning because all you're doing is click on a button that says "do it." Especially when someone's new and is interested in learning things, as GNUbahn seems to be. But if GNUbahn

Since the netinstall isos and text mode installation do not work I will just use a Trisquel mini installation. I suppose that will work fine? Now, I have installed apache2, mysql-server and php7.0-mysql which I believe to be the necessary software for the server part. For my first page I
