I'm really glad you mentioned this.  I have installed it and poked 
around a bit, and I love it!

That takes care of the front-end quite nicely, but now I need to get 
mapserv to start serving custom WMS data that gets pulled from PostgreSQL.

It seems the tutorial uses a bunch of DBase files to define its layers, 
so I'm just as lost as I was before I installed the tutorial.

First, I'm going to wade through this [0] long thing, but I'm wondering 
if there is a more comprehensive (and less image-heavy) 
PostgreSQL-MapServer primer somewhere else?

Thanks!

Colin
