Hi,

I have a server running SME5.6 and I need to build a business directory. I have been looking at the different spiders and searchengines out there, and Macurious Spider seems very good.

The problem is that I can't even install the trial on SME, and I also have some security concerns about installing it under root.

The installation manual is here:

According to the author, the spider is known to work on Red Hat Linux... Version unknown!

Does anyone have any experience with this spider and SME?

Judging from the installation manual, how many hours should I estimate hiring someone to create a new user, set permissions and install the spider would take?
