Thanks Alvaro! I'm _not_ thinking of selling anything, I just thought amazon would be a good example of what I was going for. I would have said freshmeat, but the public would not be adding anything, just me.
I'll check out oscommerce anyway, as well as postnuke and phpnuke - I don't know anything about them. I've already got the LA part of a LAMP going strong. I guess by "server technology" I meant apache add-ons like php and mysql. I think I called it that because that's what dreamweaver calls php and mysql. I just meant software technology, not hardware technology.

There is an application called OSCommerce that has hundreds of addons that might fulfill almost any requirement. For content only there are some applications like PHPNuke or POSTNuke that yoy might want to check out. Having said that, you mentioned server technology so I am not quite sure what you mean by that. Linux/Apache/MySQL/PHP is a popular combination of technologies required. However, by having them does not mean that you could start Amazon today, you would need the software obviously. The software I have mentinoed above uses these technologies. I hope that helps, Alvaro Zuniga Michael Dolan wrote: > 2 questions: > > 1.
