We have our CVS server running and although there have been several updates these past few days, "yum" makes it quite easy to manage the installed packages and their updates (we are using Fedora Core 1). Our next step is to install CF MX on this server so that it can serve as a staging server for our development team. We are looking into the licensing issues right now but we’ll most likely be setting this up on Friday. This will be my first CF implementation on Linux so I am looking forward to it.

At the end of this process, our development server will be running

• CVS - source control
• CFMX & PHP - server side scripting
• Samba - interaction with Windows clients
• Other common open source packages for mail, IDS, etc

I am also thinking about setting a similar setup (without Cold Fusion) at home for some of my personal projects. The main difference with the home setup, is the introduction of Tomcat to do some java web development. This project is taking the back seat to the condo & moving project and getting through this school term project.
