New page

The Serendipity virtual server is a pre-configured Novell openSUSE 10.2 project server that is set up to be similar to how Team Serendipity's project server was originally set up. Its purpose is to ease the setup of new software projects by providing MediaWiki, Subversion, Bugzilla, WebDAV shared folders, and other technologies with AppArmor security and LDAP authentication integration out of the box using the easy-to-administrate YaST system configuration tool.

Unfortunately, the DVDs that were sent out had a few bugs. These are addressed on this page.
