sudo apt-get install aegir3
I am asked to install drush also
The version is 5.10 not 6+.

This caused my installation to fail several times.

I am not sure if ubuntu has the 6+ version. At least it is not getting pulled down for me.

I was able to get aegir3 installed on ubuntu 14.04 with a few extra gotcha steps. Still doing some initial testing so i'm not 100% confident everything is working correctly just yet. But I am able to login to the frontend and click around.

After running sudo apt-get install aegir3 it will fail because of the drush version issue. I then installed drush manually using the instructions here: http://docs.drush.org/en/master/install/ and made sure that drush --version was 6.5.0 while running as aegir.

From there I had to use drush hostmaster-install to get aegir installed. However I don't think this step adds the necessary configuration file to the /etc/apache2/conf-enabled/ folder. So I ended up having to manually create that file. I'm not sure if there are any other problems like this that will come up as a result of the drush hostmaster-install process.

Yes there is.

We had #2193427: Package drush 6 for debian but decided to go with the install method advised by the Drush maintainers.

So no more debian package for drush, we install it via composer.

About the conf-enabled folder ... that was fixed in #2153929: /etc/apache2/conf.d doesn't exist in Ubuntu Saucy

so what does that mean to the installation on Ubuntu/Debian?
Will sudo apt-get install aegir3 not work?

I will work.

The dependency on the drush package has been removed, and the postinstall script from the aegir3-provision package will download composer and drush for you.

This does work

Edit: may I assume that it will be taken care of if I use the "unstable" distribution? And I am assuming that it is the same repo as 2.

"2.x note: to install the development version of Aegir, you can use the unstable or stable distribution above."
