Caedium on Linux
We use Autopackage to install Caedium under Linux. For installation instructions see "What is the Linux installation Process."
We recommend installing Caedium and Autopackage itself locally (i.e., not as root) to avoid conflicts. So when the root password dialog appears, early in the installation process, click the No Password button in the bottom left-hand-side of the installation dialog.
Caedium was built and tested on Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty Narwhal).
