Description

Scuttle is a web-based social bookmarks manager that enables you to:

• Store all your favourite links in one place, accessible from anywhere.
• Share your bookmarks with everyone, with friends or just keep them private.
• Tag your bookmarks with as many labels, instead of wrestling with folders.

Step-by-step silly HowTo for installation of Scuttle on a fresh SMEserver 7.1.3.
Orginates from Dungog HowTo and some input from the forums.
It reflects the experiences I've had during install and are probably not always applicable.
It's intended for Linux-newbies like myself, experienced users are probably better off using the original.
