The question was whether there's also some other solution worth
considering. (This one is most likely to be used otherwise.)

I vote for http://www.simplemachines.org/ which is a lot easier to 
administrate and also has lots of features. An integrated package and 
upgrade manager makes security updates pretty easy (a few clicks instead of 
uploading/downloading any update scripts yourself).
I use both myself - phpbb and smf - and I have a lot less trouble with the 
smf install than with phpbb.

Best Regards,
Andreas.

Same experience here, so my vote would go to smf as well (although I am
rather unlikely to use the forum except when someone explicitly points
to a thread/question).

Best wishes,
Taco

Hi all,

before everyone votes for a different software, what about a forum that is hosted by another company but reached from a contextgarden subdomain? There should be services on the net that support that?!?

And I would (probably) only use software that can be installed with ubuntu package manager from the distribution that is running on contextgarden to reduce maintenance.

Patrick
