Ben has already offered to help out and has an account on hub. If I weren't
leaving town for five of the next six or so weeks, I would too.
Still, we have strangers to all three pieces installing everything in a
weekend, usually with a bit of help. If you were to install it, you'd
be familiar with Postgres which is about 1/3 of the confusion for newcomers.

Do I detect a flame? Ohhh...
It's a toolkit, Vincent. Once you grasp the notion that using a wrench
out of your toolbox doesn't mean you have to use every tool in the
toolbox you'll be able to grasp what I'm talking about.
I answered your previous question plainly. If you're not capable of
understanding the answer, don't answer with an invitation for a flamefest
you have no chance of winning, OK?
