We recommend the use of AOLserver 4.0.1 or later. These instructions are retained as a resource.
Debian users: we do not recommend installing Debian packages for Aolserver or Postgres. Several people have reported problems while trying to install using apt-get instead of from source. If you have the time to debug these and submit what you did, that's great, but if not, you should stick to installing from source.
