1. A computer running some type of UNIX or UNIX-like (Solaris, Linux, 
FreeBSD, MacOS X etc) operating system.

2. An MTA (such as Sendmail, Postfix, Qmail, Exim) and a web server 
(such as Apache) running on that machine.

3. An installation of the Python programming language software 
(preferably version 2.2) on that machine.

With that you are ready to start installing Mailman. If you want to 
install from source code you will need standard C compilers and such 
installed on the machine. You can get binary installation packages for 
Mailman for various flavours of Linux but installation from source is 
often simpler.

If you download and unzip/untar mailman-2.1.2.tgz from 
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=103 you will find 
installation instructions and readme files in the distribution which 
may clarify matters for you.
