www.webmin.com.... webmin should already be on your box... go to https://your.ip.number.here:10000 (note the https not http) and login with root and root's passwd. Under servers you'll find tools to admin apache. As for HTML, well, use the composer in Mozilla... It's a pretty good WYSIWYG tool. James > > Thx for all you guys' help!
