> Hi,

   I've gotten several instances of uPortal 3 and CAS working well on Ubuntu
7.10 and 8.04.
The only difference that I see is that all of the software dependencies such
as tomcat(5.5.23), maven, and java(1.5_15) were installed(extracted) by me
rather than the OS. The only OS based software in use by us for the portal
is the built-in MySQL.

Hope this helps somewhat.
