SharePoint 2007 supports WSRP 1.1
Just realize that SharePoint 2007 has the ability to consume WSRP 1.1 portlets, meaning most Java based JSR-168 compliant portal server such as JBoss and Websphere (most of them have WSRP v1.0 or v1.1 support).
At the moment I am trying to setup a Java portal for demo so no details but you can check out this blog post to find out more.

Setting up Single Sign On (SSO) for MOSS 2007
MSDN documentation is not clear on setting up SSO on MOSS, but Dave Wollerman’s post here is very detailed and I managed to get SSO running by just following his blog. Be warned though that this setup is meant for development or test environment.

Windows Server 2008 Core unattended installation answer file
You cannot run the AD installation wizard with Windows Server 2008 Core, the only way to do it is using an answer. The documentation is a not detail enough at the moment for newbie to write a answer file from scratch. I had to look for documentation from Windows Server 2003 and Windows 2000 Server to get it right. So here I am posting my version for installing a fresh forest.
[DCInstall]
InstallDNS=Yes
Password=<administrator’s password>
RebootOnCompletion=No
ReplicaOrNewDomain=Domain
NewDomainDNSName=<specify you own domain name, i.e. contoso.com>
ForestLevel=2
DomainLevel=2
NewDomain=Forest
SafeModeAdminPassword=<password for restoration>
Save it in a text file and at the command prompt type:
dcpromo /answer:<location of answer file>
