*[[Raspberry_Pi_Image|Setting up Raspberry Pi using a pre-built Image]] - for those tempted to install MX on a Raspberry Pi, operating in headless mode (instead of connecting a screen and keyboard to it, you do all access to the Pi from another computer on same network). The developer has made life easy for you by combining the '''Raspberry Pi Lite Operating System''' with a pre-installation copy of MX.
* [[Setting up Raspberry Pi|Running MX on Linux]] A Raspberry Pi computer (and similar devices from other manufacturers) is much simpler than a normal computer, but it can still run various operating systems that allow you to use it perhaps for both running MX and a web server.

*[MX Issues|Cumulus MX Known Issues]] article was based on [https://cumulus.hosiene.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=39&t=12943 Steve Loft's forum post] so based on an early beta version of MX, and there has been minimal attempt to update the contents as MX has been developed further and come out of the original beta. <big>Anyone willing to check the linked article and do a further update?</big>
