Hello,

First:
nice new website, but some paddings/margins are wrong in german..

Second:
The installer for Linux switched to python (? not the best idea, adds
dependencies and blocks out systems with python below 3) and does not
work (out of the box):

./eduroam-linux.py: Line 5: Syntaxerror on unexpected word `('
./eduroam-linux.py: Line 5: `def missing_dbus():'
