[Ubuntu-PH] Ubuntu as a dev machine

[Radamanthus Batnag]

Hi everyone,

Thanks for the pointers, and the warm welcome.

I'm setting up an OpenACS (yes, that project is still alive  =) -
www.openacs.org) development machine, so I need to compile AOLServer,
Tcl and PostgreSQL from source.

The 15-CD "All In" Debian Sarge distro looks appealing, but last time
I tried installing Debian Woody, I didn't get anywhere. I think I'll
stick with friendlier Ubuntu.

Thanks again!
