==Can I install Amahi on Ubuntu?==
Not yet. We hope to get Ubuntu contributions soon.
The long term goal for Amahi is to be an "easy to use" product rather than "for geeks only."
This is why the Amahi home server is managed through a web Web 2.0 browser -based interface and is designed to run headless. Of course file sharing and related activites activities are supported cross platform - Linux, Windows and Mac.
The underlying distribution that Amahi is currently built on is Fedora.
There are frequent requests to make an Ubuntu version available - but to date there are not enough "pro-truly experienced" Ubuntu" developers ready to commit to make this happen. As developers get involved they realize that the underlying distribution does not impact the end user experience.
Since Amahi is designed to run headless there is no little tangible benefit to port to Ubuntu as a very high priority - the development time is better spent improving Amahiwhile we gather real Ubuntu contributions.
With that said - if you are ready to lead the effort, let us know and the team will help get you started.Please subscribe to the amahi-ubuntu mailing list!
