Hello.
I currently don't have a forum. I was thinking of purchasing that vBulletin but after looking through Wikipedia, FUDForum seems to have the most features and is free. I figure I might give it a shot and see if I like it or not. I want something that's highly customizable.
Before I start the installation though, I had some questions that I couldn't find any answers to. I searched the internet and even searched the FAQ. Does anyone know what the system requirements are to run FUDForum? More importantly, what are the dependencies that I need to have installed on my system? I don't really need to know about the various libraries (such as libgthread), I just want to know if there's any third party programs that FUDForum depends on.
For example, I'm sure PHP is required, along with some sort of database. I use MariaDB, which is fairly popular. I'm guessing FUDForum works with MariaDB. I'm still learning HTML and I have to admit, I don't know a lot yet. I see on the Wikipedia page, FUDForum uses something called AJAX. Is that a third party program or is that something like CSS? I really don't want to have to install Drupal. I wanted to see if that was a requirement or not.
Does anyone know where I can find the information I'm requesting? Thank you.

You need a web server like Apache with PHP 5.3 or better as documented on the wiki at FUDforum 3.0.7.
MariaDB is (for all practical purposes) a binary drop in replacement for MySQL, so it should work well with FUDforum.
You don't have to worry about AJAX, like HTML and CSS, it works in most modern web browsers.
PS: FUDforum is open source and there is NO SUPPORT for it. If you need assistance to get the stack running, you should rather go with vBulletin.
Good luck!

Like always it will depend on your needs.
Fudforum is a "click-and-run" server, but its strenghts are based in its extrem speed for high volumes and flexibility for theming
It doesn´t require anything unusual, only if your Linux-install is very "basic"it might be necessary to add something. Can´t remember exactly, but I think once I didn´t have GDLIB
If you are unhappy just remove directory and 1 database, nothing else necessary.
