Once you learn a few things, other things go much easier. (Standard conformities throughout all the tool set.) And, once you start getting into it, you soon start to realize where just about every other computer idea originated from. ;-) It's a journey, but a journey worth taking. I'm a real fan of linux, but it can be frustrating for those who haven't worked with it before. It has taken me years to be comfortable with it.. but many may learn this type of stuff much faster than me. Jaz has been a real bonus regarding the *nix aspect of WebDNA. CICADA will run great on many of the distros out there. Jaz likes SUSE, I like Ubuntu, Bob likes CentOS.. so take your pick. Any of those work fine and the 64bit option is there for all of them (talk about massive database, listwords, etc.. tasks) ;-) There are some good "quick start" tutorials online to get your server and services set up fast. A google search for "Perfect Server" and your distro and version should bring up some good info. Lastly, there is the school of thought that is do everything by the command-line, or use 3rd party administration services.. like Plesk, IPConfig, cPanel etc.... If you are learning linux, I personally think it is best to start with pure command-line. It won't get you up nearly as quick, but the information will be there for the long haul. However, if you need to start making money... :-) Donovan -- Donovan Brooke Euca Design Center [Practical-Ethical-Efficient] www.euca.us egg.bz artglass-forum.com
