Hi Joan, I've actually been working on a separate "how-to" doc for 2.0 installation on Ubuntu linux just for my own records. It has info on a few issues I've found as I go through the process. If you're interested in it, I'd be happy to share (after I clean it up...). Or I can submit individual pull requests if that works better.
