I'm actually tonight in the process of re-setting up my class sage server after a hardware upgrade. This is forcing me to remember what I did before (but didn't document!). This time I'm writing more and more things down. I can post up notes to Dan's wiki page, since I'm doing things a bit differently than him. I'm trying to make it easy to have several separate sage notebooks running, one for each class that I teach. I agree that it takes time and it's a little frustrating to set up servers; mainly because doing things securely is *hard*, in general. The nice thing is that using a vmware/virtualbox image makes it so that mistakes are not catastrophic. One of these days, we ought to get someone interested enough that they'll learn about all of the SELinux stuff, or get Sage running on Solaris enough to use zones, or figure out some other way of doing things using the top-of-the-line security tools. I can also post up my virtualbox image, for those interested.
