Holding out for Java ES.next

When Matt Swift came to work with us, he was looking for the quick start guide to using Directory Server. He's right, we ought to have one of those. Our current docs are written for folks deploying large-scale directory services. We're missing a tiny quick start version for hackers.

Since I reinstalled Red Hat 9 at home, I was hoping that the Directory Server from the latest version of Java ES would run there. But alas, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1 appears incompatible with Red Hat 9 to the extent that it doesn't really work. Maybe it'll be closer if we support a more recent version of RHEL in a future update of Java ES. Holding out on the quick start until then.
