Installing sSMTP MTA (Mail Transfer Agent)
sSMTP is an extremely simple MTA to get mail off the system to a mail hub. It contains no suid-binaries or other dangerous things - no mail spool to poke around in, and no daemons running in the background. Mail is simply forwarded to the configured mailhost. Extremely easy configuration.
This is ideal for web servers to avoid running MTA daemons like sendmail, Exim and Postfix which use up resources on the server.
1. Install sSMTP (Note: Any previously installed MTA will be removed)
apt-get install ssmtp

Installing and configuring Trac and Subversion on squeeze
Trac is an enhanced wiki and issue tracking system for software development projects. Trac uses a minimalistic approach to web-based software project management.
Trac allows wiki markup in issue descriptions and commit messages, creating links and seamless references between bugs, tasks, changesets, files and wiki pages. A timeline shows all current and past project events in order, making the acquisition of an overview of the project and tracking progress very easy. The roadmap shows the road ahead, listing the upcoming milestones.
Install and configure Trac and subversion
1. Install required packages for both Trac and Subversion. We'll be using Apache to publish the Subversion repositories
apt-get install python-setuptools trac subversion libapache2-svn libapache2-mod-python
a2enmod dav_fs
Installing eAccelerator
eAccelerator is a free open-source PHP accelerator & optimizer. It increases the performance of PHP scripts by caching them in their compiled state, so that the overhead of compiling is almost completely eliminated. It also optimizes scripts to speed up their execution. eAccelerator typically reduces server load and increases the speed of your PHP code by 1-10 times.
eAccelerator only works with mod_php or php in fastcgi mode. It can't be used in cgi or cli because eAccelerator needs to set up shared memory, and this can only be done when all php instances that need to access it are forks of the first process.
1. Download the eAccelerator source. The latest version is mirrored on www.debiantutorials.com as it's not available on the official site anymore.
cd /tmp
wget http://www.debiantutorials.com/static/eaccelerator-0.9.6.1.tar.bz2

1. Install the apache2-mpm-itk package
apt-get install apache2-mpm-itk
