It would be better if you could just add a config to the default Apache
/etc/apache2/site-available/, feel free to configure a virtual host to
listen on port 8008 if that's the normal default for your application.

Our first preference is for an Ubuntu/Debian deb hosted on a repository
like Launchpad. If you create a valid package, the UbuntuGIS repo would
be more than happy to host it. That said using a package like that
binaries would be expected under appropriate Ubuntu directories. As a
secondary method /usr/local would be ok.

The next version of the LiveDVD will be built with 10.04, you can expect
the transition of all scripts to that target to start sometime in May.

This next version we will probably be implementing some sort of space
limitation on example files included since we are reaching the max
capacity of a DVD. I wouldn't worry about the actually program binaries
just give us an idea of how big they'll be so we can figure out how much
space we need to budget for.

Thanks,
