huh?

download python
./configure --prefix=/opt/Python2.3 ; make ; make install
download zope
./configure --with-python-/opt/Python2.3 ; make ; make install

dude... linux is *by far* the easiest to get zope running under.  Windows
is the hard one; thats why Enfold Systems exists.

Would love to know how Midgard is doing.  I really like Henri (sp?) from
Finland.  Great guy!  If you get a chance to compare/contrast Midgard and
Plone - I would appreciate it.  NOTE: Python 2.4.x you can run with Zope
2.8.x and Zope 2.9.x requires (I believe) Python 2.4.x.

Support is over-rated unless your actually buying support from someone. 
The software will run just fine.  In fact I believe Zope Corp is running
Python 2.4.x on Zope 2.8.x in production and several other experienced
organizations are.
