I am a vBulletin site owner who currently runs WinSvr2003. I am trying to learn enough to run my forum from a Linux platform. I am an OLD BSD Unix guy...back in the day. Linux is a far cry from BSD unix so I am reliant on other people's experiences and trials and successes. Anyway, that would make an excellent HOWTO. Cheers, Larry
there is an good howto on fedora core ver 6 for an LAMP or Ubuntu play with them that are nice and easy the Ubuntu LAMP is more of a out of the box apache / mysql / php server with the fedora is a mix of a desktop / server but i started on the desktop with the full blown AMP in the backend of the OS if you pick the Ubuntu make sure you install the SSH (openssh-server i believe the package is called) on the box to be able to use ssh or you going to a mess of a time what is the PWS appz you using on the w2k3 box for the web server IIS ver 6 or apache ?
I use IIS6 on the WIn2003k box. I'm getting tired of Windows and Microsoft. It's time I get back to my roots. I appreciate the pointer to Ubuntu, I'll have to figure out what it is... Cheers mate.
off topic here thats IIS with PHP is't that a tab slow on page loading or its not that slow now days last time i try PHP on IIS or IIS with php it was slower than apache / php on windows but maybe thats was just me anyway have fun with Ubuntu ( i play with both i would : the desktop to get the hand of the linux and stuff but you can install the apache / mysql / php onto that as well ) but once you got the hang of the commands than jump over to the command only ver is the LAMP ver of it and happy going
