Debian Etch + plain Alfresco w/o Tomcat. Experiences?

[pav5088]

I'm interested in experiences from people using Debian Etch (or other deb based distro) on getting Alfresco working with the deb native versions of Tomcat, MySQL etc…  basically I want to know if it's possible, and if so are some custom tricks required.

  I checked out that article already.  I want to get Alfresco working with the Debian Etch bundled Tomcat 5.5 and sun-java5-jre…  and that article makes use of the bundled Tomcat and downloaded java, though the information on MySQL and OpenOffice looks useful.

  I have experimented already, but my problem may have been the Tomcat version I was using ( v5 ).  Etch comes with v5 and v5.5…  and I mistakenly used the older one because I thought the v5.5 package was coming from etch-backports, or one of the other non-standard package repositories I'm using in my apt config.
