Re: [Slashcode-general] OSX Installation Revisited - Slash on Tiger

[Craig H. <cra...@go...>]

For example? I've been through all the alternatives and they all have
problems. Either they don't do what Slash does, or they do but only with a
lot of modification, or they do and have similar installation issues. While
I'd love to use something easy to install that runs on shared hosting, I
haven't come across anything that will do this that has a comment/moderation
system as good as Slash. If there is something I've missed, do tell!
