Can I ask about installation of an operating system distribution over a server?
Without knowing the specifics, I guess it might have a good chance of
being about an unsupported environment. If the vendor only supports FooOS on it's devices and you want to to run a strange port …

Would it be ok to create a second SF account in order to ask questions which cannot be relat...
I see nothing in the legal documents that would forbid creating a secondary account, but you would need to contact the SE staff for a definite answer to the legal part of this.
