Hi Faiz: Ubuntu 8.04 will be a little bit of a bit of a challenge as it comes with PostgreSQL 8.3 - and that is not yet supported with Evergreen (due primarily to changes in the full text search API). Debian Etch (4.0) is still the recommended server distribution for Evergreen. However, if you're comfortable compiling PostgreSQL 8.2 from source, or installing a backport package, then Ubuntu 8.04 may work for you. For what it's worth, I do my Evergreen development work on Ubuntu 8.04. Also note that the xulrunner client in Ubuntu 8.04 is known not to work properly with Evergreen, so you'll have to use a staff client on Windows or another version of Linux to connect to Evergreen. -- Dan Scott Laurentian University
