Notice: This page is a part of my personal profile page and was not meant for contribution (at least not now). The page may be moved or deleted without prior notice. If you are willing to help, please contact me via my profile contact form. Thank you for your understanding.

This page covers only very basic information about getting the desired software packages properly installed, and the commands contained herein was not properly tested, therefore they should be used only for testing purposes. There are many missing information, e.g. about dealing with the non-free parts, reversing the process (removing the installed packages), basic application setup, and more. This page is still a work in progress and I am not responsible for any damages caused by following the instructions on this page.
