	I have previously installed it using the .war file and the existing
tomcat that comes with F7.  I only replaced the gcj with Sun's java.
	I also had to change a couple of paths in the webapps/alfresco
directory so that it would write files to the proper place and also be
consistent with the Fedora directory standards.  If I recall, I changed
a line regarding the log4j path and also changed the path for the
repository files.  I can lookup those changes if you have trouble
locating them.
	As far as OpenOffice goes, it needs a startup script to launch in
headless mode at system boot.  If it is running, alfresco will detect
it.  I'm not sure what (if any) repercussions this has on a system
running in full SELinux mode.  It might be dangerous to have a process
able to read and write files anywhere on the system.  It must run as a
user with similar permissions to the tomcat user, but with even more
restrictions.
	It would be nice if there was a rpm package for Alfresco.  I might try
my hand at making one once F8 is released with OpenJDK.  I've never
tried making a Java rpm before, so I am not sure how successful I will
be.
	Alfresco is a fantastic product that should be easily installable on
Fedora.  I can't wait to see what else they have planned for the program
over the next few years. 
	RedHat should buy these guys.  It would be a powerful combo to have a
RHEL install come with JBoss and Alfresco.
