Article Requests
Aim
The aim of the articles site is to guide both newcomers and more experienced sysadmins in installing and configuring their Slice(s).
I'll try to cover the most popular requests but please be aware that not everything will be covered in these articles.
As the article site grows in size you may find some of the packages mentioned are not the latest releases. We always encourage you to search the main websites for the latest releases - a good example is using Ruby on Rails: often a gem is updated on a regular basis and I may refer to an older version.
Upcoming articles
Ubuntu Hardy Heron LTS
Hardy Heron is an exciting release for all sysadmins and many articles will be based around this new release (Hardy Heron is due to be released on 24 April 2008).

Ruby on Rails including serving using mongrels, thin, passenger and, of course, the Litespeed LSAPI
Django basics - installing and deploying a basic application

More will be added as requests come in.
