You're gonna start a war with questions like this, but pretty much every question does that :) I would choose PostgreSQL as well. I've used MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, and SQLServer and like PostgreSQL the best... in my Oracle is too hot, MySQL too cold, and PostgreSQL just right :) As far as links... PostgreSQL http://techdocs.postgresql.org/ http://www.ca.postgresql.org/docs/awbook.html http://stage.linuxports.com/projects/postgres/book1.htm PHP http://www.php.net/links.php (will keep you plenty busy :) http://www.zend.com http://www.phpbuilder.com As far as message boards go Phorum is pretty popular... http://phorum.org/ You can see it running here (as well as a lot of other places): http://www.freebsddiary.org/phorum/ Have fun! -philip On Fri, 28 Sep 2001, Robert A.
