Setting up a production sever to run MX (and various other programs)

These notes document the present progress of setting up a server on a unconfigured and essentially empty machine. Note that additional software (see additional on wishlist) that mx does not require is being installed as well. If you already have a server (say OS X with apache) running the process should be significantly simplified. This process is ongoing now.
