I get the war distribution called 'alfresco-community-war-2.1.0.tar.gz'. It's located at: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=143373&package_id=157460&release_id=524558 I untar'd it... and the rest is described in my message. I hate that so many java applications out there have to install their own jdk. Thankfully Alfresco comes with a raw .war version that can be installed into an existing tomcat/jdk environment. The only thing my description does not do is start OpenOffice on bootup. I figure a simple startup script should fix that. I have run the headless mode manually in a separate login session and it works fine communicating to it. So, Alfresco does run on F8's (and F7) Tomcat as long as you get Sun's 1.6 jdk/jre. ...Jeff
