Great to see such varied interest in getting Maidsafe running on different operating systems!
Personally I am devoted to Debian (I am a Debian developer since 2001) and encourage those interested in getting Maidsafe running smoothly on Debian and FreedomBox to help discuss that in more detail at Getting maidsafe on the freedombox server - and those interested in not only installing Maidsafe on top of Debian but getting it integrated as official part of Debian (and FreedomBox) itself, discussion on that has opened at Maidsafe on a freedombox.org? - #2 by draw
For those devoted to other OSes I sincerely wish you all the best!
