Description

Hard words but how to test software if you are not even able to install it? For me this is a total loss of functionality.

Usually on Debian/Ubuntu you select a package and install it and have the software available. At least the Ubuntu packages do not require the Apache. The dependencies are missing. Not to mention the preferred apache module.

If you don't have it, nothing works at all. Then you stumble over the Redmine-wiki, you can install it with (cgi) but it doesn't work. You have an alternative which did not work for me too. Decide for one plugin and make it work!

Debian/Ubuntu has a wonderful package system. For me there is no excuse for installation instruction where you manually need to create links. I expect to install a package and it simply works.

Ok, the Ubuntu support is crap lets search a Windows installer. I couldn't find one.

You Ruby geeks, hit the real world. There are people that simply want to use software. After two hours of fiddling around I was not able to reach one of promising features of the web site.
