This is the config I tried to deal with:

- On Fedora Core 3(w/ sources):
  Midgard 1.6.3/PHP 4.3.11/Apache 2.0.54/MySQL 3.23
  A lotta prob while trying to reach aegir or midgard. The best that I got was 
a 404 error page or sometimes I was able to rech the 1st aegir page /frameset..)

- On Fedora Core 3(w/ packages):
  Midgard 1.6.3/PHP 4.3.11/Apache 2.0.54/MySQL 3.23
  This was worse. I was even not able to create a database

- On Fedora Core 3(w/ sources)
  Midgard 1.7alpha/PHP 4.3.11/Apache 2.0.54/MySQL 3.23
  I only got midgard and spider-admin seemed working

- Now I try to manage something on a debian Woody 3.0 RC 2. I take the same 
config but I am not finish yet. So I'll more later on. 

Thanks.
