There is extensive documentation for apache on www.apache.org. There is

If you only want to ever run X, then you should use XDM as your login
server. Try putting it in as the last thing in your last init script.
(/usr/X11R6/bin/xdm)
To try it out, just type "xdm" from console. (NOT from within X)
In order to toggle out of X to a virtual console, try control-alt-F1, when
you are done, type Alt-F7 to get back to X.

It's not a router (per se) though, unless you have real, routable IP's on
both sides.
What you need to do is configure your Linux server to be an IP Masquerading
firewall. It will use Network Address Translation to convert your internal
IP's to external IP's. See http://www.flounder.net/firewalling.txt
By the way: it is incredibly wasteful to send your entire pgp key with every
message. Try putting it on the web, and giving out the address instead.

Yes, there is a very easy way to dual boot Win9* and Linux. It's called LILO
(LInux LOader) and it is really easy to set up. If I were you I would first
install Win9X, leaving enough room for any Linux Partitions and then install
Linux from a RedHat CD. ( 2 bucks at http://www.cheapbytes.com/) The RedHat
istallation installs and configures lilo automatically.

I had this problem with one of my 486 machines, it is an M-Tech R407
motherboard with an AMD DX4/100 installed. It would randomly switch between
acting normal and like a 10 Mhz machine, in fact, it acted just as if I
would randomly hit the turbo button (clue 1). I would run it under DOS
running the Landmark program, and could watch it speed up and slow down.
I was able to get an upgrade BIOS for the machine and with the new BIOS, it
worked fine, the only problem is that the new BIOS only saw 128K of cache,
while the older (buggy) one saw 256K! From these two things, I assume that
there is some problem with the cache which the newer BIOS sees and so
disables the buggy part while the older one just didn't see it.
note to clue one: some motherboards implemented the turbo button as
disabling the cache, the first clue that this might be a cache problem.

The inode has nothing to do with the behaviour of these programs. The
same effect can be achieved by using symlinks. I see no advantage to
using hard links for the purpose over symlinks.

Netscape is a super pig. I ran out of VM cut and pasting some text into
a TEXTAREA box (there was about 32 meg swap available when I started).
Ludicrous. The only other thing that really eats memory is Java.
It competes with Netscape for piggishness (and what can only be worse,
it is included in Netscape -- that option is OFF). The idea of doing
Java development on a 16 meg RAM machine is .. I'm just at a loss for
words. Impossible? 32 megs RAM is slow enough.

(SOYO 6KBE motherboard, AWARD BIOS), Expertcolor 4 Mb S3 AGP graphic
adapter (DV5357).
An ISA sound blaster, an ISA 3C503 and a PCI INTEL video camera card are
also fitted in their slots.
A 100 Mb swap partition is present.
It works fine but it hangs when using some applications, like games,
ghostview, textedit, ...
Simply the system (keyboard, mouse, applications) stops responding and I
must hardware reset.
I defined 94 Mb RAM in LILO boot, to avoid possible top memory
conflicts, but the problem persists.
I have the same problem with Red Hat 5.0 installed in another hard drive
partition.
The crashes are much more frequent with 24 bit color X server instead of
8 bit color X server (XFree 3.3.2).

Looks like, until chilisoft makes a Linux port, you will have to either

Try Linux. See if you like it. If you don't, get a Mac. The best
image processing software under a grand is probably on the Mac. The
best rendering software may have been ported to the Mac, but that is
really in the domain of Unix. I don't know what is available on Linux
beyond Pov-Ray, BMRT, and Mesa.

Then you could write a "goodbye" sound to /dev/audio; there
is some funky way to get useable audio out of the box speaker
without a sound card. I've forgotten where I saw that. Try
Deja News or web search.
Or hook up a 5$ keyboard and do some LED flashing with
the xset command if you can get it to work.

quota -v is not working either...still getting the (none) message. Oh
well, I guess I can just wait till the power goes out on Jan 1, 2000 to have
my machine rebooted to find out :)

The fstab is setup as you described. I don't recall remounting the drives.
But I can't understand why the quota command would not work when the quota
system in general is working--it tells the user when they exceeded quota and
won't let them create files, and the super user repquota command displays
the proper info. Just that damn pesky quota command doesn't work. The
frustrating part is now that it is all running and setup, its fairly
useless, as its not fair to implement quotas on user and not have them be
able to find out what it is ;)
Thanks

If you always run under X, you could just comment out the line(s) that
invokes gpm at boot time. In Slackware 3.4, it's two lines in
/etc/rc.d/rc.local:
echo "Running gpm..."
gpm -t ps2 -r40
In RedHat, I think it would be somewhere under /etc/rc.d/, I don't
have a RedHat machine handy to check, and their start-up is a bit more
complex.
