I was looking for a way to run Solr as a service on Debian. Ez Publish CMS has some interesting scripts in their svn repository http://svn.ez.no/svn/extensions/ezfind/ezp4/trunk/extension/ezfind/bin/s...
http://svn.ez.no/svn/extensions/ezfind/ezp4/trunk/extension/ezfind/java/
I used the solr script from the first link together with the solr.sh in the second, followed the instructions in the solr script and it works well.
Somebody another or better solution?

Acquia hosted search service
Something I forgot to mention, for the ones not having a dedicated server to run a Solr service on, there is of course the upcoming Acquia hosted search service. I'm looking forward to test it!
