The Ubuntu distro has aptitude, so the MySQL install as simple. I SCP'd my own copy of the JDK, mysql-connector-jdbc and Tomcat. Just need to remember to install ia32-lib before trying to install a 32-bit JVM or it will fail. The default Ubuntu is 64-bit for scaling up, but there was no good reason to install the 64-bit JVM on a 512MB system. You're a bigger Linux geek than me, so you should have no problem.

I'm debating on setting something up for JavaMUG and the Rackspace service might be what I'm looking for. Erik So what else did you have issues with besides iptables and email?

You all are on the right path. You just need a bit more polish. I'll patiently await the documentation updates. I would really like to setup an email server, but won't chance it to random research given the pain a poorly secured or configured SMTP server can cause. Cool, Todd. You all are on the right path.

I'm glad you've been able to get up and going on Mosso. You're right about our documentation: it's early for us. I was just talking to one of the guys today about the articles we're adding and improving. Please trust that documentation will be a big area of focus for us. I personally believe Rackspace has a mission to expand Fanatical Support into other areas, including "Fanatical Documentation". At any rate, I'm eager to hear more comments from you along the way. Hit up our online chat if there's more we can do for you. They've been a huge help to folks as we work to expand the online docs. Tim –
