If you are installing knowledgetree document management software and get a 500 server misconfiguration error you likely don't have mod_expires loaded into apache.

to fix (on debian)
a2enmod expires

You can confirm that this is your problem by checking your server's error log for where it complains about ExpiresActive directive in your .htaccess file. If you find that, the above command will fix it.

update table_name set table_field = replace(table_field,'replace_that','with_this');

apt-get install mysql-server mysql-common mysql-admin mysql-query-browser apache2 php5 php5-cli php5-common php5-mysql php5-gd php-apc

For servers, you only need
apt-get install apache2 php5-mysql php5 mysql-server mysql-common php-apc php5-gd php5-cli (for drush)

other things that you might want:
openssh-server (for remote servers)
cvs (for systems that will be retrieving packages from drupal.org)
subversion [or] git-core (better version control for everything else)

Then for clean urls, make sure AllowOverride All is set in directory definitions. Then enable mod rewrite:
a2enmod rewrite

Woke up here in Szeged thanks to hotel's wake up call (I forgot an alarm clock -d'oh!). No roomate as of yet, but he should be here tonight.

It's a beautiful morning outside. I'm getting ready for the first day of Drupalcon. Today there are crazy sessions like Dries' keynote and tons of the most interesting stuff that frankly should have been spread out over the other days of the conference. We'll see if I keep up intellectually, technically and socially with what's going on.

Last night went well, I arrived in Seged, got in touch with you all, avoided the hotel room of death (more on that later) and hung out with a bunch of folks in the cafes right down the street. Met Daniel from drupalcenter.de who is a really nice guy, and lots of other nice people. I'll be trying to do some more networking today between all the learning.

No photo for now, but I'm taking them...

Sitting in Marvelosa cafe in Budapest (Buda actually, not Pest) after taking exorbitant taxi ride into town... Cute little floral place.. wifi of the same name.

Having carrot soup and bread with various dips, kinda funny, but good.

wish me well. I'll be posting to this spot all of the updates I have time for.
