All advice would be helpful as I weigh my options,
Do not try to use a readymade zope from a distibution (I did once, and still get angry when thinking about it), since it will probably get you into trouble sooner or later. Installing from source is easy and quick and you are up and running in five minutes.. If your hardware is supported by debian-distribution i suggest you use this. (if using dell server, linux.dell.com is the place to go for a dell-aware debian boot-image (and it also works on other srver-hardware as well) I have had nothing with trouble with redhat (not enterprise-version) and zope-rpm (maybe yast is different and better?) since switching to debian and zope-source everything is Ay-ok! (not to say: it is actually working) bottom line: use a minimal linux-installation, and use zope-source and python-source! this is the advice of a zope newbie! Best regards EInar Næss Jensen
