Linux Installaton
Note for All Linux distributions
Note: All Linux installations assume you have appropriate 3rd party repositories such as rpmforge (dag/dries), livna, etc. (whichever is appropriate for your distro)
Also note: These instructions are just guides, things are different even in the same distros sometimes (especially if cpanel, etc. is installed), so these instructions may have to be tweaked for your specific system.
Linux users are expected to know basic Linux system operations like package management, etc., as we cannot give a "Linux 101" to each user.
