@Wayne-Workman ok this might bring a bit of confusion
I was lead to believe that ppa was specifically for ubuntu not debian itself
While ubuntu is debian based there are differences that could ruin the package or even the system

[Wayne Workman]

@maxiecool2 The Ondrej ppa is built for Debian, and thus works on Ubuntu. Quote from the page:

I’m available for some freelance work related to the packaging I do in Debian[http://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=ondrej%40debian.org&comaint=yes] (and thus in Ubuntu)

And, the fog installer has been installing this package on Debian & Ubuntu for a while. At my house, I’ve setup automated testing for the installer, I test it every day against many distributions of Linux. Results can be viewed here at the moment: http://97.85.148.83:20080/fog_distro_check/reports/

You can download a functional distro with fog installed.

This version is Ubuntu 10.04 with Fog 1.2.0

@Juan-Antonio ubuntu 10.04? yikes that’s old.

[Juan Antonio]

@Junkhacker Yes but it works perfectly with version 1.2.0 of Fog And it is built to install in a compatible equipment, it works in P-IV and P-III, in fact we are using it in our school as an image server to restore PCs of last Generation, with OS Win10 and MAX9 (based on Ubuntu 16’04). It is installed in a DELL optiplex 270

@Juan-Antonio Or you can use Multiserver Ubuntu 14.04, also with FOG 1.2.0 is a LiveCD with several services. Following the instructions works perfectly. The web is in Spanish language.

I would not advise using Ubuntu 10 or 14 or FOG 1.2 as a new installation.

why???

[Wayne Workman]

@Juan-Antonio FOG 1.2.0 is obsolete now, so is Ubuntu 10. And it’s just a bad idea to use anything but the latest LTS version of Ubuntu for a new build.

Until well ago was the official version, this I say, are LiveCD with FOG 1.2. installed so you only have to install and configure.
Fog 1.3.4 still gives errors, we are testing it, so I think this is a good solution to install without connection.

In any case you can always try …
