This is the kind of thing that makes me nervous about Slashcode:

If you're not familiar with Slashcode, it's the code that powers 
Slashdot, ICANNWatch, and a number of other sites. Slash would probably 
be running even more sites if the installation procedure were more 
intuitive and didn't require quite so many steps.

A bit about Slash

I've been using Slash for several months now to run my personal Web 
site, and I've been toying with Slash even longer than that. Let me say 
right off the bat that Slashcode is not the software you want to use if 
you're not willing to do a little troubleshooting and customizing to 
make it your own. I don't want to scare anyone away from trying Slash, 
but it's not for everybody.

Although Slashcode is a great package with almost all the frills anybody 
could want from weblog/portal software, it's not a cut-and-dried 
solution that you can slap into place during your lunch break like 
phpWebLog or a number of other weblog packages. Getting Slash installed, 
working properly, and customized to suit your preferences is almost as 
much an art as it is a science.
