It will be for both dial up and web hosting there just alot of things that i
dont currently use or think about. so far all my experiance has been local and
not conected to the internet. so there are a few issues to look at. and i like
apache but it is a bear to set up. i still cant get my cgi scripts to run. also
i know about next to nothing about firewalls. ihavnt needed them.
anyway i can usualy figure things out thats why i was curious about were to
find good reading material on the subject. also i mean good and up to date that
will cover apache setup and security issues also.
