It's fairly straight forward to point an existing Radio installation
at your own community server, but it's a bit more work to produce
custom Radio installers (which UserLand allows) for distribution which
automatically link up to your own server.

I'm speaking from experience here, as I just recently did this for
Harvey Kirkpatrick at iTown (http://www.itown.com/).

Not saying it's exceptionally difficult, but it's time consuming.
Takes a lot of "practice runs" on all three platforms (Win, MacOS,
OSX).
