Re: [SL] Best Linux OS for SL?

[Jeff R. <je...@jr...>]

Hi ATM Logic

I agree with Vlad, I installed it on a FreeBSD box and the install 
couldn't have been simpler. There is a port for SQL-Ledger, (it was 
version 2.6.22 when i installed in Dec)  and one command (make install) 
will fetch the whole of SQL, Apache and Postgres, install all of them 
and all dependancies and you are ready to run. It took about three or 
four hours for FreeBSD to fetch everything, compile it all and install 
it but I just watched TV and when I came back I edited one config file 
and it all ran perfectly. Like Vlad points out, you don't need X on the 
server so it can run on any old box.
