One thing I think would be very helpful is a working ubuntu installation. One should be able to point to a *.deb file and it should install without any glitches.

Maybe we should form a committee to do this.

We here in .fo are very happy for fred.

In the beginning we found it difficult to install Fred. I think the main
reason was lack of documentation.
But after contacting one person with a bit of linux/unix knowledge we
managed to get it work.
Later - with the knowledge - we have installed fred many times without any
problem.
My feeling is that the software workes fine. But maybe documentation is
behind in development.
