Notes from the Lullabot Drupal Overview video (which is free until Wed. Jan 12).

minimal has no optional modules enabled nor any content types. Nor is the administrator role set up for you.

DBTNG

master-slave replication

any database that PHP can support, which includes Oracle and MSSQL (Microsoft)

built on top of PDO which comes with PHP 5.2+.

Drupal requires PHP 5.2.4 or later
PHP 4 is dead.

User 1 is still special

We (the Drupal community) cannot expect webchick to look even once at anything that isn't truly needed for D7's release at this point.

But i think we cannot tell exportables and other developer experience issues to go to hell for the next year or three either.
