Created the page with the "open questions in mind"
I'd like to start the open discussion here; here's my take on things:
1. I don't think we should stick with RPMs. While it is a LOT easier to package RPMs, most Ubuntu users have become used to Apt and the Debian style of packaging things. This will also help the updating side [switching to Apt], as they will automatically appear within the Update Manager if the repository is up.
2. The current Fedora version we have runs on a desktop machine. Ubuntu 10.04 is probably light enough, if not easier, on the memory than Fedora 12 on install in the Desktop edition. I also bet that if we develop for the desktop, we'll have fewer questions since there will be a GUI. I love working at the command line, but most do not ;)
3. In Ubuntu, updates are handled through two programs: update-manager and unattended-upgrades. The latter is disabled by default and the user must enable automatic download and install of such updates. We'll probably need to write a script that will change that for the user. The user can always be directed to use update-manager as necessary, however.
