We just started porting Amahi to Ubuntu. The support is highly experimental. There are a few important things to be fixed before you can run it with minimal tweaking. Please don't try it on a production server yet. We are using Ubuntu 910.04 LTS (jauntyLucid) Desktop 32 bit for development. We strongly recommend you to use the same for experiments. You can download this version from [http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download here].

* A development platform, running Ubuntu 910.04 LTS Desktop 32 bit and/or 64 bit with the recommended development packages installed.* An Amahi sandbox, running Ubuntu 910.04 LTS Desktop 32 bit '''preferably''' under [http://www.virtualbox.org/ VirtualBox].

# Open VirtualBox and create a new guest platform for Ubuntu and install Ubuntu 910.04 LTS Desktop 32 bit.# Install VirtualBox guest additions in your Amahi sandbox.# sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose-guest-utils (do this inside your virtual machine!)

*<s>HDACTL init scripts do not work [http://bugs.amahi.org/issues/show/484 bug 484]</s> Some do work under Fedora formatting (interesting!). amahi-installer script needs work to run.

Instead of using FastCGI, perhaps package Amahi with capability to use Ubuntu'*<s native phusion passenger (aka mod_rails) package. Add the following line to >Apache mod_passenger</s> This has been implemented in the Third Party Software Sources:  deb http://apt.brightbox.net hardy main (The simplest way to do that installer since it is to create a file now in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ containing the deb instruction, and then run 'apt-get update')default repositories. Once you've done this then you can install Phusion Passenger by running:  apt-get install libapache2-mod-passenger
