[plug] Webserver

[Simon Scott]

	Is this simple HTML theyll be doing?

	If they are going to create anything of considerable size, you might
want to look at zope. Its fairly intuitive, and makes administrating large
sites a breeze.

	Although Im a fan of Debian on servers (and Mandrake on desktops) I
would probably answer 'RedHat', simply because its practically the standard
now and 7.1 is sooooo easy to install it simply isnt funny. Most *newbies*
start with RH, so there is a wealth of newbie doco for it.

	But then again, it aint hard to setup ftpd and give them a nice
windows HTML editor with ftp support. If you know linux well, youll prolly
use Debian. If you dont (and this is a new journey for you) Id say youll
have more hair left at the end if you use RH.

	On the topic of RH, it was quite humerous to watch 2 Winblows guys
gaping at how quickly RH installs, and the *slick* install procedure. When
the guy clicked on the map to tell RH we were in perth, he almost went into
cardiac arrest :)

	I am currently in the middle of setting up a Linux Box at my mums
school to
	serve as the internal webserver, and would like to know hich would
be the
	best version of linux to use for this project. And i know that that
the
	various linux distributions are generally the same, and i would like
one
	that is easy to setup as i am fairly new to Linux, but i only have
access to
	such distros as FreeBSD, Redhat 7.0/7.1, Smoothwall, E-smith,
Clarkconnect
	and Debian. Im not necessarily looking for the best one but im
looking for
	the easiest one to use and to teach a very computer illeterate
teacher to
	loggon and update the website.


	Cheers Joel Fraser
