Setting Up Web Host
Hi All,
I want to set up a web server and I'm not sure how to do it. At first I want to use it for personal use but in the future I may want to start seling web space commercially. I have a UNIX box, a Linux Machine and a Windows 2000 Server machine. I'd like to use the UNIX box but if Win 2000 or Linux is better I suppose I could use that. I've had basic experience with Apache/MySQL/PHP on a home network (win 2000 and Linux but not UNIX) for a while now and want to try something new. Could anyone point me in the direction of helpful advice/a nice tutorial/a good book on the subject? Anything would be helpful! Thanks!

- Do you have cable?
- Do you have a hardware firewall (NOT SOFTWARE)
If you have both of these you are good.

Dras you dont need a hardware firewall, software does work you know, even if it's not as good.
