I'm kind of stuck with Linux because that is what the most economical WEB hosting is run on. So to understand better how to configure a commercial sever I'm setting up and configuring a Linux box at home to be a development platform. I've read the entire 1100 page Fedora text that came with a FC9 distribution disk. I've also searched the WWW for advice/help and that's how I got here. I've loaded and reload, configured and reconfigure and I still can't get Apache to show port 80 on my local network. I must have entered my 10 digit SU password 500 times already and the Fedora box is still not giving up it's secretes. It will play computer games real well and I rather like the Sudoku on there. I've very please with OpenOffice. But no survy survy. Mean while the LAMP server on my windows XP box that took me 15 minutes to set up is serving pages like a top. Maybe I should just pay the extra bucks to rent a Windows server for my web pages. It will do PHP and MySQL too. Left out is any discussion of WEB site designers.

Whether I’m using Windows, OS X, GNOME, or KDE, my current work flow gets tangled as I juggle several open folder windows, half a dozen instances of Firefox with 30 tabs between them, a text editor, Google Talk, Eclipse, terminal windows, a media player, and sometimes more; on top of this is the ever expanding mess that is my hard drive. This basically sums up my two main computing problems: my desktop is an unstructured mess of windows, and my hard drive is (between major cleaning jaunts) a mess of files.
