+NOTES ON WEB SERVER SETUP
+=========================
+
+The `bootstrap` command in  `drupal-init-tools` supports installing new sites
+in *user dirs*; this means that users can have the Drupal sites in their home
+directories, usually under the `public_html/` sub-directory.
+
+This may make development more comfortable, as new work can be done in the
+usual development environment (git and ssh configuration, editor settings,
+etc.).
+
+To configure the Apache web server to enable *user dirs*, first enable the
+module:
+
+::
+
+  sudo a2enmod userdir
+
+And then make sure that the configuration is compatible with Drupal, changes
+like the following may be necessary, depending on the distribution:

+::
