Right 1st: What is RT. http://bestpractical.com/rt/docs.html

2nd: Who wrote it? Jesse did, the guy who also brought you savory and the early X11 on a kindle hacks for the k3.

3rd: Twobob, why the hell are you doing this. Well. That's a tougher question to answer. a) because I would rather like to ask Jesse a completely unrelated question about his x11 build and this seemed like an amusing way to get his attention b) because using a kindle 3 (and all kindles actually from just this one build since it is built to run on them all) to be a LAMP server seemed like a pretty sexy, if stupid, thing to do and finally c) because RT is cool and I wanted to see if it could be run on something so tiny as a kindle.

4th: Wait a LAMP server on a kindle? Well... not really in the traditional sense, This will be Linux, Nginx(ot Lighthhtpd), Postgresql and Perl(or php) but that's /pretty/ close to a LAMP server.. so. I think we get a "Gimme" (or a mulligan, either way)

5th: So, what, like all from a debian loop mount? Pfft. too easy, this is all got to run natively, only loop mounts allowed will be to provide ext3 compatible storage on FAT.

6th: Well did it work? TBC:
