Semantic Engine: Revision 14

This page will document my tries to install it on current Debian unstable with support for both SQLite and MySQL. I also have ISO-8859-2 console, so it's important for me that UTF-8 encoded characters work well.

I will also try to specify differences when installing on latest Debian stable, etch.
