Amphora server is installed on Linux, preferrably RedHat 7.2. There exists ports to other versions of Unixes.

The previous release of Amphora light was made available over a year ago. When creating version 2.0 IT Meedia used most of the improvements created for the professional version and took into the main requests from users. Thus version 2.0 beta introduces a number of improvements over the version 1.0 made available last year:

- Full source available, licenced under GPL

- Supported on RedHat 7.2

- Based on Zope 2.4.x and new versions of postgresql, etc.

- Does not require a devoted server machine

- Should be much easier to port and install than version 1.0

- Simple file (document) sharing capabilities added

- Simple database creation and usage capabilities added

- By default, mail is based on sendmail instead of qmail

- Numerous improvements to functionality, scalability and stability

IT Meedia is also marketing a professional version of Amphora which contains powerful additional components:
