If the end result still looks too 20th century, we can pass it off as "conservative", "stable" and "trustworthy" - - Commercial users tend to be a conservative sort anyway. (One of my hosting companies is running Linux 2.4.xx and the other is running FreeBSD - they stand to lose too much blood if they get too close to the "bleeding edge".) The theme I want to start with does not have a place for the OpenID login/registration form where I want it. ;) Gotta edit up me some of that there CSS and Smarty template stuff. The OpenID login/registration feature *was* broken in the current release, and still is in the SVN repository - but I fixed that already (4+ days, typo'd variable name, you just gotta love PHP). I would post them the patch - but they are running the broken release on there web-site and I couldn't register there either. ;) They do have an open bug filed on the problem, it will get fixed RSN. ;) > > If people prefer to just link to existing pages, on the non-integrated > > server/site - it could be done that way also (the package has a "site > > integrator"). > > > > Depends how easy the import process is...

Give me a few days to get the look and feel the way I want them before trying to import a foreign wiki (I don't even know if that feature works off of a database dump or the client images).

My only use for VServer is to run various packages on various distro's for instance: used it to learn that typo3 only runs on 32bit, not 64bit. > I also seem to remember some corner cases with the vxyz scripts, but > they were obscure enough that I can't bring them to mind now. > > I also get a segfault if I resize the ssh window while using "vserver > xyz enter" under a hardened kernel.
