Just some basic questions.

my server is finally here, and it will be assembled this weekend, there are a few things I would like to know, and I dont see posted in the wiki.

1> in order to run sof server, what db version do I need?
2> once all of the required software is installed, will I need to code anything for it to be playable, or will the server be ready for live testing once I have completed the install?

Thank You

If you aren't compiling it yourself rev974 is most up to date. You can run SoF with it.
You wont need to code anything for the server to be playable. It will run right off install. You will of course need to configure the eqemu_config and make sure the proper ports are forwarded if behind a router.

You'll only need to "code" if you are planning a custom server. Then you'll need to know a little perl and at least have some basic knowledge of mysql.
Though nothing like learning through experience, just remember to back up your DB often especially before trying new code or altering any tables...

You need to know C++ to code. You need to know Perl to do quests.

Yeah

C++ was actually what I meant but the whole 5 min rule on editing I just said oh well maybe no one will catch it hehe... "Eyes of a hawk"... Have perl on the brain atm.
