[JDEV] Installation Problems

[Robert Thompson]

I'd like to make a request while this individual is trying to resolve
installation problems.

Since it appears there will not be a Jabber server for NT anytime soon, I
was wondering if someone could create a Installation Help FAQ for setting up
a Linux Server with Jabber.  I'd like to setup a Linux Server with Jabber in
January but I've never setup a Linux Server before.

I thought it would be a good time to ask while individuals run into common
problems...that way these could be added to such a doc. while they are being
asked.

Thanks,
Robert
