Well you know your stuff Florian and I must confess I originally dismissed 
this suggestion. In fact you are correct. 

ls -ld /bin/sh--------->dash.

So I dug around a bit and it turns out that both dash & bash are installed by 
default on Ubuntu and derivatives specifically to save space on the CD. Both 
root and initial user shells default to dash and all other users default to 
bash. Since Ubuntu and derivatives are installed from live CD's for the most 
part, users interested in running ogo need to remove dash, log out and bash 
becomes the default shell.

Running the necessary commands to restart ogo and support requirements 
(postgresql-apache2 first of course) and OGo comes happily alive on such 
systems. 

So if we combine the basic instructions from JD Bearden and remove dash for 
bash, OGo lives just fine on Ubuntu versions and derivatives. 

While its not an issue, I did use 7.4 postgresql for this load. However this 
version is no longer supported according to apt-get output. While I have not 
test on postgresql 8.x was wondering if their are issues or best to remain on 
7.4 for now and wait till ogo goes final?

Many thanks Florian.
