Just few suggestions to prevent some common problems/mistakes of EMC2 installed on an Ubuntu 10.04 realtime kernel. After few checks we have been able to underscore some common mistakes.

The setup of EMC2 included in this release is easier and more complete compared to the previous releases. But unexperienced linux user can still find some difficulties on various, simple, aspects.
