<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi all,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm busy downloading the Fedora ISO's - my plan is
to use a spare PC as a server for my web development, as well as a Media
Server.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>What I am planning to do is to use a drive caddy
with one HDD with XP Pro, running IIS5.1 and MS SQL Server 2000, for
local development & testing of ASP coded websites, and another HDD with
Fedora, running Apache and mySQL Server, for local development & testing of
PHP coded websites.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>My plan for a Media Server is the following:

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Now...my questions...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Where is the best place to find out information on
setting up a PC as a development server - somewhere that lists the programs
needed and how to configure them. I am running a wireless network, although I
might hardwire the server to the router for more stability.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Anyone have any useful sites or tips they could
send me? Bear in mind that I am a Linux newbie (although I did experiment
with RedHat 8 a while back), but am experienced with computers as I also
provide IT support for my clients (from fixing PC problems to building new
PC's).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks,</FONT></DIV>
