Forgive my silence.....some have interpreted this as inaction, confusion or bewilderment but I’m really doing my homework at this point….at least for some that have seen me on linuxquestions.org…or on this or other sites because I always use the same user-name on a number of sites.
At this point, I’m running through some distributions that Takeshi has suggested...at this point I’m playing particular attention to Ubuntu and Debian with the focus of C::B and LAMP….I new all of those packages, but I didn’t know that there was an acronym for them…and that was new to me…but it was directly addressing everything I needed in the short term….C::B is only for my personal satisfaction…
To close this out, which I have never done before, I want to thank you all for your help…I’m sure that I will find a Linux format that I’m comfortable with; mostly because I’m determined to switch operating systems….
And thanx once again Takeshi
