The project is currently officially supporting Ubuntu and Debian, but I have suggested that we also include Arch and Fedora users (as I'm most comfortable with those distributions). It seems like Red Hat-based, Ubuntu-based, and Arch-based distributions are the most popular.

Yea, Thats just because those are the only two distros I regularly use with familiarity. If anyone know how to package for rpm, arch, gentoo, etc... please let me know. Its not supposed to be Ubuntu only
