As of this writing (October 2007) anyone looking to install Zope/Plone on Ubuntu should have upgraded to Fawn a while ago. I also recommend either using Plone's Unified Installer, http://plone.org/documentation/tutorial/installing-plone-3-with-the-unified-installer, or the Debian Install instructions to be found here: https://weblion.psu.edu/trac/weblion/wiki/InstallPloneOnDebian. I've had zero problems using the Unified Installer on Ubuntu Fawn. Thank you, Kevin.

build zope from source…not hard
./configure
make
make install
they must have built zope without the zlib1g packages

Peers. Clientele. Other IT workers. Especially ourselves. The notion that we are professionals to be trusted and respected is crucial. Nowadays, we are creating well-researched, thoughtful and compelling websites. If we don't expect respect, we do more work. We lose the ability to say no. We sabotage ourselves.

The notion that we are professionals to be trusted and respected is crucial. Nowadays, we are creating well-researched, thoughtful and compelling websites. If we don’t expect respect, we do more work. We lose the ability to say no. We sabotage ourselves.

The user interface pretty much sucks for anyone who's not an undergraduate, hates tv, and is committed to a sweetheart. Not much for the mind here, either. Lessee, I'm editing my profile. I see only two gender choices; I'm not looking for a "relationship" right now, but thanks for asking; my "status" is not your business; neither is my birthday; and giving anonymous lurkers my address, cell number, or anythin remotely like that is insane. Why don't they ask for my social security number? Ditto. The user interface pretty much sucks for anyone who’s not an undergraduate, hates tv, and is committed to a sweetheart.
