Hi, Robert!
I already replied on #midgard, but here is the same info as it could be useful to others as well.

After well over a year of trying one thing or another - finally, I have been able to successfully install Midgard on my debian server.
Cool!
If you're running "testing" or "unstable" this should be quite simple by using apt-get: http://www.midgard-project.org/documentation/installation/distros/debian.html
(Note: the same DEBs reputedly also work with Ubuntu, although you need to install the dialog package first)
The - empty - , pretty well default site is now up at: http://www.privaterra.org:8001
Ok. And you'll see the "Welcome to Midgard" page in: http://www.privaterra.org:8001/midgard/
The "Getting started" instructions can be found from there:
"To get started with Midgard, you need to do the following:
* Log in to an administrative interface
* Create a new organization
* Create a new website for the organization
* Create the style for the organization's website
* Log in to the website and start creating content"Apart from the default install, i have been able to change the default password and install the Town Portal template. What to do next - don't know, and would appreciate any help, recommendations, to guides or tutorials that are online to help me - slowly - migrate over from the other CMS's that i'm using (mostly tikiwiki & postnuke) to Midgard.
You could start with these tutorial slides: http://www.nehmer.net/~bergie/oscom3/ http://www.nehmer.net/~bergie/south-africa-2004/
Let me know if you have any questions after reading them ;-)
I'd be more than happy to document the process on a blog , any suggestions as to where i could post my journey into midgard...
You can basically blog it using whatever software you like. As you already have Midgard running that could be a good alternative.
To create a blog there, log into a Midgard site and click "Create page", the create a subtopic handled by the "News listing (de.linkm.newsticker)" component. Newsticker has the needed blogging features like an RSS feed (in /topicname/rss.xml) and MetaWeblog API support.
Once you have the blog running please let me know and I'll add you to Planet Midgard: http://www.midgard-project.org/planet/
