Came highly recommended, looks very cool indeed for small and medium business ERP solution… Not a wealth of “newbie” info, but a very cool almost trouble free installation guide makes installation (Java, Ant, Postgres or Oracle, Tomcat — this is no lightweight) a snap (pretty much) for various Linux distributions:

If you encounter problems, the doctor is in…
Now, when you get it up and running on some old ubuntu box in the corner of the room, and you want to access it not from localhost ( http://localhost:8080/openbravo for most distribs, but http://localhost:8180/openbravo for us Debian/Ubuntu enthusiasts, because of how Tomcat is installed on these distributions) but as its box name on the local network… lo and behold, no images, no css, no login…

Anyway, cool… as they say in the installation guide, enjoy!
