Igloo is a 'web standard' product. Igloo will work with standard web server configurations such as a GNU/Linux distribution running Apache and PHP services or a Microsoft server running IIS or PHP. These are available from most internet service providers (ISP) should you wish to host externally.

Igloo has a small hard disk footprint (appox 3mb). The amount of space given to each user for file storage is configurable at installation. Awarding large disk quotas to users will increase your disk space usage which if with an ISP will increase your costs.
Igloo is easy to install and configure for personel trained in server administration.

What's New in This Release:
User interface cleanups, a navigation overhaul, support for public publishing, and email notification on comment receipt.
