Very helpful. Thanks Pia. John. Pia Waugh wrote: Hi John, Is there such a thing as a simple server setup to handle a simple static website that a beginner can install and run from home?? The most simple setup I've seen is the Red Hat stuff, from their add/remove programs you can select to install a web server, which is actually just all the apps required, but as others indicated if you install Apache, it should just work (make sure the apache daemon is running :) and then you can modify the index.html page which will be wherever your particular installer put it. If you still have trouble, repost with your Linux distro details. Otherwise, I'd recommend a few other approaches, because even with an easy installer learning how to make websites quickly isn't easy with a lot of these tools, even if they are easy to install. I'd recommend looking at a Content Managemenst System (CMS), like Mambo (mamboserver.org) which will give you a web interface to modifying your website, without having to learn how to tweak a bunch of applications individually. If you want something up very quickly, speak to Geoffrey Robertson who hosts all the tools for you at something like $100 a year, so you have a website, with all the tools and administration done for you, and you simply modify it through an easy to use web interface. Contact him on [EMAIL PROTECTED] Yes I'm plugging Geoffrey :) He hosts a website for a non-profit I'm involved in (not Linux Australia ;P ) and it was so easy to organise through him, it is a pretty useful service.

Thanks Mike. It shows up a lot of addresses in Google each with that address somewhere. I do not understand the significance of that. John.

KDE has a "Public File Server" Kicker (panel) applet. It is very rudimentary,
but it's by far the easiest to use Web server I've seen. Depending on your
