Hi Olivier, thanks for that.&nbsp;
We're planning on installing on Ubuntu, so we'll check those Debian
scripts out. 
 
If anyone on the list has any more detailed instructions for compiling
on Ubuntu than what's available on the web site these would be most
appreciated. 
 
Thanks again, 
Damian.

 <pre wrap="">I think the debian packages has some automated scripts to generate
multiples instances automagically. It worked with me. The only issue is
that these debian scripts starts/stops all instances in block (i'm too
lazy to dig the script and split per instance...)

    <pre wrap="">~100..200 *small* low-usage instances on a modern server with some gigs
of memory (cheap) should work OK. You just need one database server (you
could even use just one database instance with multiple PG schemas), but
be sure to enable a lot of DB connections.

As you noticed you need at least one OGo process per instance, OGo can't
share multiple instances in a single process. Technically it is not too
hard to change the sourcecode to support multiple instances, but it
would be some work. This would of course make sense in your scenario.
Maybe if you services makes enough money you could sponsor such an
enhancement ;-)

Greets,
  Helge
