It's way more easier to work with embedded frameworks, especially on Linux. You only need to have NEXT_ROOT defined, nothing else. If you use embedded frameworks, the instructions on the wiki is enough to get running on Linux. wocommunity.org is running on a CentOS 5.3 box with this exact same setup. > As I'm sure you've gathered, I'm pretty new to Linux and I'm trying to > > learn as much as I can along the way.
