At that stage, Cumulus 1 was still recommended for most users, because MX was experimental and it had limited functionality. Now that further development is adding lots more functionality into MX, this is the Cumulus flavour that most users will select to 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, so it is hoped that the update of this article will help people to understand MX sufficiently to use it both more easily and to maximum capability.
