I'm not sure anything other than RedHat is possible due to the fact this
is the distro that Ligad ships with the servers. But an upgrade to 7.3 or
8.0 would be very helpful.

Zope is problematic because upgrading Squishdot requires a bootload of
manual steps (why not a regression Python script?). Generally, Zope is an
architecture with its own data storage mechanism, that mandates Python and
its own web-server. Therefore, I also support replacing it with something
else, possibly with the expense of making our past articles in a
non-dynamic cache. (someone tried doing it with a web-crawler, but maybe
we can get a Zope Guru to output them to a sensible format for us.)
I'd like something that is LAMP (Linux+Apache+MySQL+Perl/PHP/Python
or something similar) based.
