What if clicking on the "let's do it the new way" button would spawn the process that installs postgres?

Users A and B work on their company laptops and use the postgres server on machine C, which is in their office.

It wouldn't be "an option", it'd install postgres the first time it's unavailable and "use selfhosting" is clicked, but work out of the box after that. -- Glom: missing dependency - PostgreSQL https://launchpad.net/bugs/1225 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
