 All in all - a very easy installation.
 
+=== vtiger ===
+
+My first decision is whether I want the [http://www.vtiger.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=30&Itemid=57 binary or source]. Hm. I'm going with source because I'd rather not execute a binary that I know nothing about. The version I'm using is 5.0.4.
+
+vtiger makes the sugarcrm requirement of 40M seem downright negligible. The biggy is a requirement of php5 - many commercial hosting provider are still running PHP4. In addition, vtiger [http://wiki.vtiger.com/index.php/Vtiger_CRM_5.0.4_-_Installation_Manual_for_Linux#System_Requirements wants]:
+
+Directives that are enabled by default in debian already - no change needed:
+
+{{{
+safe_mode = Off
+display_errors = On
+file_uploads = On
+register_globals = Off
+log_errors = Off
+short_open_tag= On 
+}}}
+
+Directives that need to be changed:
+
+{{{
+max_execution_time = 600 (default on debian: 30)
+memory_limit  = 64M  (default on debian: 16M)
+}}}
+
+Directives that need to be changed that I don't want to change
+
+{{{
+error_reporting=E_WARNING& ~E_NOTICE (default on debian: E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE)
+output_buffering = On (default on debian: Off)
+}}}
+
+They want less errors to be reported. Keeping the debian default should be fine.
+
+As for output buffering, the comments in the php.ini file says:
+
+{{{
+; Output buffering allows you to send header lines (including cookies) even
+; after you send body content, at the price of slowing PHP's output layer a
+; bit.  You can enable output buffering during runtime by calling the output
+; buffering functions.  You can also enable output buffering for all files by
+; setting this directive to On.  If you wish to limit the size of the buffer
+; to a certain size - you can use a maximum number of bytes instead of 'On', as
+; a value for this directive (e.g., output_buffering=4096).
+}}}
+
+I'm going to try to run vtiger with this turned off and see if it works anyway.
