This Wiki article was originally exactly what Steve Loft said in the [https://cumulus.hosiene.co.uk/viewforum.php?f=39 support forum] when he first started experimenting with Cumulus MX and access was restricted to those willing to experiment with his tests.
 
At that stage, Cumulus 1 was still recommended for most users, andbecause MX was experimental and it had limited functionality. Now withthat further development is adding lots more functionality ininto MX, itthis is whatthe Cumulus flavour that most users will select, butto install and run. However, whether you have used Cumulus 1 in the past, or are new to Cumulus, there are no instructions built into the MX package, andso it is hoped that the update of this article will help people to understand MX sufficiently to use it usefullyboth more easily and to maximum capability.
 
== Restrictions on who can use MX ==
If MX is your first encounter with Cumulus, you will be at a disadvantage regarding documentation of many of the features, while those who have previously been familiar with Cumulus 1 will find most aspects of MX easier to pick up. Before you read this article any further, read [[About Cumulus|the article that introduces Cumulus]] first, then you will be linked back to this page.
 
=== Update ===
The update made to this page draws on what has been said spread over lots of posts on the support forum and attempts to make it more accessible by repeating it on this page. In writing this update, I have drawn on my own experience of moving from Cumulus 1 to MX, but saved you the pain of where I went wrong, just telling you what is correct.
If this page, and those other Wiki pages it links to (e.g. a new Cumulus FAQ), do not answer all your questions then see [https://cumulus.hosiene.co.uk/viewforum.php?f=40 the support forum for current Cumulus MX] as that will let you see what other people have asked about, as well as giving you the opportunity to post your own query.
