Hi,
I can provide a proper virtual machine on my dedicated server for the
project. That box will stay up no matter what as I am dependant on it as
well :)
But indeed, first seek some help. If L/X/Kubuntu have rather proper
websites, we should be able to get this running as well. Maybe ask for
some expertise on the other projects teams?
Greets,
Jasper
