Actually Interchange installs quite nicely on a virtual host if
you have a reasonable perl and normal OS services. In fact, I do
98% of my testing by installing as a regular user; working as root
is the exception for me.

Interchange has been installed thousands of times on virtual hosting
setups. Its ancestry guarantees that -- dedicated boxes are a lot more
common now than they were back in '96 when I first did the current
installer software.
