Dev Shed does it again with another great Zope article. This one takes on the dubious task of getting start with Zope on Linux and Solaris. A good read for those just starting to use Zope or those who need a brush up.

"Zope provides the basic services provided by CGI, such as allowing users to logon to e-commerce web sites and community portals in order to receive personalized content, all while making software development easier. In this article, I will cover what Zope is, how you install it on a Linux or UNIX system, and explain a few of the concepts you'll need to understand in order to be able to be productive with it. I'll presume that you're at least a little bit familiar with object-oriented programming. This isn't a comprehensive installation and configuration manual - there are already enough of those. This is more of a "what is it and how do I use it to make my life easier/get my boss off my back" article."
