[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] newbie evergreen server build

[Ben Shum]

Hi Bryan,

If you do pick Ubuntu as your server OS, then I just want to say upfront 
that your best bet will be to use the LTS 10.04 version of Ubuntu.  
That's the one most heavily used by different Evergreen sites that adopt 
Ubuntu, ours included.  Other versions may work, but may require some 
extra tweaking.  That said, Debian is still the distribution most often 
suggested.

The downloads page (http://evergreen-ils.org/downloads.php) should give 
you all the links you'll need to get yourself started.  I'd go with the 
recommendation on that page to install the latest stable release series, 
which is currently Evergreen 2.1.  Let us know how that goes for you 
though, we'll try to help where we can.

Good luck as you begin your work!
