The learning curve? That entirely depends on how comfortble you are = with configuring applications on Unix/Linux servers in general. If you've = never set up a web server, then it will take you some time to get things = nailed down correctly. If you merely have not installed Apache before, as = opposed to another web server, then it should not be difficult. All I can say is start from the bottom, and work your way up. Learn to configure mysql, next install and set up Apache, then get PHP installed. Last, read up on the rquirements for phplist, install the required PHP modules, and then finally phplist itself. The first time I set up phplist, I had a working setup in a couple of hours, which I then took a few days to test thoroughly. However, I did have several years of of apache/mysql/php setup and usage experience = before that. All I can suggest is to jump in and start learning. All of these open source packages have great online docs, tutorials, and support = communities to get you going. -- Geoff since this hosted server holds our website and database, my main concern = is that i do not affect those existing configurations- a web developer = created our site/shopping cart and cms and loaded it all on this VPS - i just = don't want to someone to come to me and say "hey our website is down" or = something to that affect
