I'll echo what Keri said, except I suggest you use the same distribution as you intend to deploy your web site on in production. It avoids some of the difficulties with differences between development and target platforms. If you have a choice, debian based distributions such as Ubuntu are a good choice. -- Bruce Clement Home: http://www.clement.co.nz/ Twitter: http://twitter.com/Bruce_Clement Google Buzz: http://www.google.com/profiles/aotearoanz "Before attempting to create something new, it is vital to have a good appreciation of everything that already exists in this field."
