I second arun's idea. And by the way I don't find why instead of LAMP we don't use some thing which is much light for programmers, gives a lot of power and also does some thing productive really quickly. Talking of this ruby on rails or pylons is a good choice IMHO. It will give emence power with very simple programming. I am using pylons for a couple of months and find it really ausom for the kind of things we are talking here. happy hacking. Krishnakant. -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
