Hey Stephan,

Thank you for writing and apologies for my late reply.

Yes, there kind of is, but only on a very high level.

The distribution cannot be built right now because our build system is down and I lack time to have a look at it and bring it all back to work.

There are plenty of bugs in BZ for IPFire 3.

No, there is no setup process yet, no images. So won’t be very obvious what to do.

There is a short quick start guide on the networking: https://man-pages.ipfire.org/network/network-quick-start.html

It lacks a build system, a firewall and a web UI. So we are very far away from release.

Nobody of the core developers has substantially touched the distribution in years.

Sorry for all this bad news, but right now what would help the project is keeping development of IPFire 2 going and fix all those nasty bugs so that they won’t hold us back any longer.

Best,
