[Zope] New subscriber: Installing Zope

[Kevin Dangoor]

You can indeed install it. I had originally had a standard telnet 
sort of account on a FreeBSD machine. You can basically get a 
full-featured Zope if your web provider runs apache with mod_rewrite.
(If they don't have mod_rewrite, authentication is a little bit more
of a headache.)

The thing to beware of is that PCGI starts a long running process
and many hosting companies will not be pleased about this.
