I saw something about that in the archives and decided that I would give a small Linux server a try. I've been working all day to get this done and have run into a few problems: 1. There are SO DAMN MANY linux distros now it took a while to decide on one. 2. Very few (from what I can tell) will perform an ftp/http install. 3. RedHat's network install needs serious work. Three cheers for the FreeBSD team - they seem to have licked these problems. Mostly today was a reminder of why I left Linux in the first place. :) Gene Harris wrote: > > I have been equally frustrated by this program.
