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.

 I think every registry system has issues that need to be resolved. This 
 is
  the reason
 that I would like to see a working perfect installation made by the Czech
 .cz ccTLD made
 in such a session at ICANN Brussels so that we can see how these issues
 are resolved or
 can be resolved.
 I am aware that there are ccTLDs like .tz who seem to be happy with FRED.
 And if not, then well it would be a shame, we need to move on.
