Here's a screencast to guide you through the steps involved in installing our latest Aegir release, 0.4 alpha5 on a fresh Debian Lenny virtual server with no other prior configurations.

Warning: this is a very boring screencast, for two reasons:

1) You really can follow the instructions / copy and paste the commands from the INSTALL.txt with barely any changes required. Seriously. That's what I did.

2) I sound exactly like a zombie doing his tax return. Hey, it's 1am.

Many Aegir users ask whether there is a way to schedule backups of all sites provisioned in Aegir. Currently at the time of writing, no such scheduling exists within Aegir itself, since we have a few design decisions to work out (such as where to store the backups, especially when multi-server comes in!)

For the meantime, here's a crude little shell script that might help you. You should execute it as the aegir user.

Happy birthday to the man who introduced me to this thing called Linux at a rather early age and let me steal away all his O'Reilly books over time :) The rest, of course, is history!

Thanks and joyeux anniversaire Dad :)

But of course, if an incident were really to upset the course of history itself, and an intervention from those from the future could prevent that, why would they attempt to prevent it unless the problem had happened and thus they knew of it, in which case this means their attempt to prevent the problem had not succeeded, result being there would be no need, point nor inclination in trying to stop it? The intention being to stop the incident, which would in turn cause the inclination to prevent a problem that never occurred to be non-existent.

Love it
