I am facing an interesting situation. My web server is a very nifty P4 machine that works fine most times. It works as a web application portal, a shoutcast station server, and a file server. When...

Yup, after reading what you have said and what Paul has said, Slackware with a minimal install would be quite well suited to your purposes. And as for what X to use, I find myself more prone to using...

I think you hit it on the head. Despite the fact that it is a Linux system and Linux uses the RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computer) architecture, it is a very resource intensive application....

It sounds like you are trying to compile it from the GUI (KDE or Gnome). This cannot be done very easily, to compile it you need to run the commands Paul stated from the terminal (or command prompt).

*bows to the mod*

My apologies, I should have guessed that doing something of that nature would be over the edge. I will not do so again!

My suggestion is to use Slackware. Albeit, I am a bit partial to it, but there is a good reason. Alot of the distros out there try to lure users in with a GUI and easy to use options. However, what...

If it is Linux, I am a Slacker all the way! It is the only OS that does what I tell it to and nothing else! I have already converted three Linux Users to it. We all agree "once you go slack you never...

If you want to save yourself a lot of trouble, you ought to consider using a program called "VMware (http://www.vmware.com)". It lets you run more than one OS on a single hard drive, heck, 8 in the...

The site I use is http://www.no-ip.com/ it is a website which lets you get subdomain DNS (site.no-ip.com) and it is free. You can download their Dynamic Updater Client (DUC) which, if running will...

Could you please be a bit more specific about what exactly it is that you need? You listed specs which is all good and dandy...but what things do you want to know?

Welcome to the wonderful world of Linux (<<- is a Linux freak)! If you want to set up a server, there are lots of things that you will need to look at. I will give you a very basic roadmap to use.

You can also do a search for "Free Web Templates" on Google and there are lots of good page kits to use. I found in early days of web design that it was easy to take a template like that and learn...

If you don't want to learn HTML and CSS (although you should) then an easier way is to find a navigation bar generator that is remotely hosted. Here are a few of the options for this:

The best option I can tell you is to try a free ASP host. I have found that the developer site http://developer.graphyx.net they offer a certain number of free ASP accounts and even allow up to three...

My suggestion on this is to find out what the permissions are. Any scripting language is very picky about permissions. If you are going to have people upload on to the server then you need to make...

To do something like that, I have a tactic that might work, if you could find the code to make a header file, you could include it in the pages and it would probably fix this up...of course placing...

I actually own that book. I found it to be quite good for many reasons, but you are right, it certainly doesn't read like a starter book. The only real thing that I found that I disagreed with was...
