Why not. Ricardo? The main =E2=80=9Cdifficulty=E2=80=9D would be to adjust the =E2=80=9CDownl= oad=E2=80=9D page on the web site, the instructions in the manual, =E2=80=9Cmake release=E2=80=9D, and t= o come up with a clear file name for the new image. I would assume that x86_64 is sufficient for the VPS image? Thanks for reminding us of this, LUdo=E2=80=99.
