Irrational Exuberance

You are writing a comment about The Django and Ubuntu Intrepid Almanac, here is a quick summary:

This heavy tome of wisdom will guide you, keystroke by keystroke, through configuring a mod_wsgi, Postgres, memcached, Django server on Ubuntu Intrepid. Written for a complete command line beginner, but hopefully useful to everyone (I know I'll have to refer to it to remember how to add additional domains to my server as well ;).

Hi,

some tips:

1. /usr/bin/editor is a symlink to /etc/alternatives/editor, which itself can be configured to set your favorite editor
2. (step 8/11) it's always a good idea to stay logged in until you're sure the newly created account can log in. Especially when changing ssh configuration etc. Usually, connections are not disconnected when restarting ssh. Should there be any error in your config, you won't be locked out of your system that way.
3. (step 10) ssh-copy-id saves some effort here
4. (step 12) it's git-core, not gitcore. libc6-dev is included in build-essential dependencies
5. (step 13) instead of sudo su postgres -c psql you can type sudo -u postgres psql
6. (step 14) instead of sudo python setup.py install maybe mention sudo checkinstall python set.py install here. This makes removal easier, as it ties into the package management
7. (step 15) you didn't install curl in your tutorial! wget is a dependency of ubuntu-standard, though.
8. (step 16) there's no package apache in intrepid. see apache2
9. (step 19) you can specify groups on chown like this: chown user:group filename
