Hey all,<br><br>Sounds like a grand idea. We haven't covered this in the CiviCRM manual, I guess that is because we thought you could find it somewhere else ... and so would be great to have another flossmanual to point to as the source of further information :)<br>

</div>No, I think SQL is too much info. I had thought of "Databases: from<br>
zero to web-app in 15 minutes" or something like that, but essentially<br>
it's just making poetry of something that makes sense on it's own :)<br>
<br>
We probably need one for webservers as well - so we can doa simple set<br>
up of apache, nginx, lighthttpd, etc etc....although I'll leave that<br>
for the moment.<br>
<br>
