Not that a cd is that expensive, I just don't like the idea of burning a cd I know I'll only use once. Several years ago I learned how to install linux without having to burn a cd. This is useful if you like to distro hop like I do, and also appreciate that testing on real hardware is far better than using a virtual machine. I have used this method for Fedora, Debian, and Ubuntu, but I bet it would work with other distributions as well.

The basics are as follows:

Truth be told, it is rather easy to get a test server up and running using the packaged web server that comes right with Django Trunk, but in this tutorial, I do throw in the apt-get install commands to install apache2 and mysql, but actually getting a production server up and running using mod_python and mysql is beyond the scope of this document. It also is unecessary, because Django has some phenominal documation, and I highly recommend continuing on with your Django education at both Django.com and www.djangobook.com
