I have DHIS 2 running on Ubuntu 8.10 and Fedora 10.

Lars recommends to download tomcat from the official tomcat site.

OK. But beaware that for a really heavy production environment you must 
compile the jsvc as it is documented on $CATALINA_HOME/bin/jsvc.tar.gz 
file. If you dont you will loose on performance.
For people that prefer to use 8.10 tomcat version... It works too. It 
sounds little strange to be broken.
One more note: Pay attenyion to apparmor in case you decide to change 
the database folder of mysql. You must stop it or learn to configure it.
