[freeside-users] Installation on Ubuntu 16

[Blair Davis]

Well, I'm getting ready to try Debian 8 for this myself.

About 5 years ago, we went from having 5 flavors of windows and 4 
flavors of linux to one of each.   Lot of work getting there, but it 
made my life so much easier...

Now, I've got 2 flavors of windows again...  and I guess I will have 2 
flavors of linux again...

Annoying.

I'd also like to put together some sort of integration map as I go that shows how everything is put together. The nice thing about open source is being able to fix it yourself if needed, but the bad thing is often times the best or only documentation is the code itself.

I thought I would try and throw it up on a Ubuntu 16b2 VM and check out the new Ubuntu and Freeside at the same time. We might want to use Freeside as a replacement for Platypus at some point.
