Why not. But he seems to have difficulties with CJK and other non latin
scripts. My experience with Zebra is that it is quite hard to handle all
scripts and to match similar glyphs, whereas it's very easy with ES. But I
may have missed some points.

Maybe I'm an old UNIX person :D, but I understand the wiki doc better. If I
had to install ES directly, I would also prefer to use the ES debian
repositories: like this (as it is also with the koha repos) the start
scripts are handled by systemd and started with the machine, and not
manually.

Anyway, I hope Charles will find an option that suits him, whatever it is
:).

Best regards,
