This fabric file makes setting up and deploying a django application much
easier, but it does make a few assumptions. Namely that you're using Git,
Apache and mod_wsgi and your using Debian or Ubuntu. Also you should have 
Django installed on your local machine and SSH installed on both the local
machine and any servers you want to deploy to.

_note that I've used the name project_name throughout this example. Replace
this with whatever your project is called._

Best Solution - GoogleApps
Here's a summary of what I setup and how:

Signed-up at GoogleApps. The "Standard Edition" is just fine for me to get email service.
Next step is to validate your domain ownership by either posting a special file on a website running at the domain, or insert a special CNAME record in your dns entry
Once the domain is validated, the chat, docs, calendar and sites features will be active.
To enable Email, also need to configure the MX records for your domain
I have a domain registered at http://whois.com, but it was just pointing to a domain parking page, so I first had to add the "Managed DNS" service to my whois account and change my nameservers from the domain-parking addresses to the whois.com nameservers. Seemed to take about a day for this to propagate properly before I could proceed.
I added the special CNAME entry (as prompted by google) and told google apps to try and verify my domain ownership
Then simply had to add the MX records as prompted by google.

GROUP BY, DISTINCT
--------------------	

"group by" lets you use aggregate functions, like avg, max, min, sum, and count. "distinct" just removes duplicates.

For example, if you have a bunch of purchase records, and you want to know how much was spent by each department, you might do something like:

select department, sum(amount) from purchases group by department
This will give you one row per department, containing the department name and the sum of all of the "amount" values in all rows for that department.

GREP STUFF
==========
The :substitute command searches for a text pattern, and replaces it with a text string. There are many options, but these are what you probably want:
:%s/foo/bar/g

Find each occurrence of 'foo', and replace it with 'bar'.
:%s/foo/bar/gc
