Requirements:

UNIX machine (windows comming hopefully soon) tested on linuxes, debians, freebsd
A Little bit of hardware resources Example: max 3000 users hub has been tested on Pentium III 450MHz, 128MB RAM
Network, with any TCP port you choose for your hub Standard is 411. NOTE: on unix port < 1024 need root privileges, or a NAT forwarding.
MYSQL you need a running MySQL server on same machine or on a machine near to it, for a fast network access even that i'm trying to reduce as much as possible the sql requests, a slow access tot he database may produce lags on your hub..
A MySQL datbase access once you have a server, you need a created database (if you have root access, verlihub provides a shell script that creates the database for you)
Some installed libraries pcre, GeoIP, MySQL of course, crypt in order to compile verlihub you will need the -devel versions of these libs
