Hello Noel! Good luck during the install! Don't hesitate to contact us
as you make progress.

This is a matter of preference. The live system for GA PINES runs on
Debian Etch.  Dan Scott (you'll likely see him on the list) built his
VMWare image on Gentoo.  There have also been efforts for Fedora,
Ubuntu, and others.

The "manual" is the DokuWiki.  For the server installation, the link
you'd want to start with is
http://www.open-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=server_installation.

Not at the moment.  The module documentation has, I think, been one of
the lower priorities.

The prerequisites are listed in the dokuwiki install instructions.
The generic list is at
http://www.open-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=prerequisites.
Basically, you will need Apache, a jabber server (ejabberd is most
common), PostgreSQL, memcached, Yaz2, libxml, and some smaller things.
