Thanks. I added contributors that were removed to the document metadata
under the "Properties" tab.

Thank you. I made a small change in an attempt to first appeal to the
general situation (box with one NIC, secure local-only mysqld desired)
but created a separate paragraph discussing bind-address in some detail.

I agree; the doc is ready for publication. I'll work with the mifos.org
administrators to get this document published.

1. If there are no objections, I'd like to deprecate the "Linux Install
Notes" page
( http://mifos.org/developers/install-mifos/linux-install-notes ) in
favor of this document, "Linux Install Guide". The Guide aims to be a
more comprehensive installation walkthrough and includes everything
worth keeping from the "Linux Install Notes".

2. There is a bunch of overlap with the README. What I'd like to do is
make the installation instructions in the README more generic and geared
towards developers (who would be expected to dig through a README), and
link to the linux install guide on mifos.org (in the same way the cygwin
install guide is linked to from the README).

3. Pretty soon we'll have configuration nailed down in a manner that
doesn't require fetching the source code and building your own WAR file.
Basically what it involves is (a) grabbing a recently-built WAR file (b)
adding custom .properties files to the application server classpath (c)
setting up the Mifos database (would require an install script, I think)
(d) starting Mifos. I'm sure sysadmins will appreciate this, and this
should simplify the install guide quite a bit.

To summarize, here are my goals for Linux install guide:
A. don't require/rely on ant
B. don't require/rely on svn
C. customize mifos installation by placing .properties files on the app
server classpath

I didn't hear back from you regarding this so I removed the sentence in
question since the material below appears to address MySQL configuration
adequately.

I also want to point out with those following the conversation that
CentOS would probably be a fine substitute for RHEL for the purposes of
this installation guide.
