We are running Mifos 1.1 on a fairly vanilla installation of Debian etch. We
have separate machines for firewall, database and application/web server.
All software is the etch default with the exception of ant 1.7, which is
picked up from lenny (apt-get install -t unstable ant):

I can't answer your question regarding JRE vs JDK, but would hope that the
JDK is only required for a development system...
My recollection of the install is that the instructions omit the requirement
for junit, but that's probably not a problem for a production server. If we
ever get to a production installation my intention is that here will be no
development tools, compilers, etc on any production server.
We have concerns around security: e.g. HTTP instead of HTTPS; currently
running with Tomcat security disabled; default configuration connects to
database as root. However these shouldn't be insurmountable and we'll feed
back to the community as and when we address these.
I don't generally run full unit tests when upgrading from svn because of
issue #1571 but when I do change the timezone on the application server to
PST all tests pass, so I conclude that the versions we are running are
sufficient.
If you have any questions about our configuration, please don't hesitate to
ask.
Regards
Graeme
