Like many open source projects, planet seems somewhat thin on
documentation.  Download the tarball, read the INSTALL file and
look at the examples is the best advice I can give.  It is really
simple, though.  I setup planet on my home server so I could
aggregate all my non livejournal friends' blogs together (since LJ
already aggregates theirs for me) and it took me maybe 30 minutes
to get it setup initially (most of that trying to figure out how to
convert from the opml export from my stand-alone aggregator to
the planet format [wrote a quick perl script to do it]).  From that,
setting up planet trilug was about a 5 minute job.  It literally took
more time to figure out why cron kept dying than to setup planet.

Cheers,
Tanner
