I'm putting together a Linux box. Want to run Apache and maybe a perl interpreter. Does anyone have a suggestion as to the best version of Linux? Where do I go for that best version? How about Apache? What is the best perl development environment?

Keeping in mind, of course, that Free is Good.

Yes it was quite fun, there was even an Amiga version of Tradewars.

With the exception of the Guinness, you're on! :) Keep that sludge away from me. Gimme a good ol' German Lager any day. (I know, I'm irish and I *should* like Guinness, but I just don't. I don't like corned beef & cabbage though either.)

I bet I saw them in the computer room on occasion.

Do you play at Sat Cong Village by any chance?

I tried the Mandrake Linux distribution. Everything worked OK except for the sound card - which wasn't supported. Back to Windows 2000 for me!

St. Paulie Girl Dark okay? :) BTW - Did you see that TheRightGuy is having a shindig at his home on Sep 8? Freepmail him for info, it would be great to see you.

Hi Duke. I'm a former PC user who is now using nothing but Apple machines. I have one PC left that I keep around for plotting purposes, but once all of the drivers I need get updated for OSX then I'm shutting the PC down once and for all! I've just had it with the insanity of trying to keep a PC working. There's always something wrong, if it's not one thing it's another. I finally just gave up. I've owned my new Imac for about three months now, I've only rebooted it four times, and that was for new software installations/updates that required it! I'm using Mozilla for a browser. OSX rules! Say goodbye to MicroSquish, get on the OSX bandwagon. You'll be glad you did.
