Re: setting up a php/mysql server on linux

I'm a Linux newbie. I just installed Linux Red Hat 7.2 successfully. I have some instructions to install php/mysql/apache and have a couple questions... Fire away.

Which is better, GNOME or KDE? I seem to like the feel of KDE better. This is just for a user logged in. It does not affect apache/php/mysql as those are simply server processes over a network. By default both Gnome and KDE are installed (well, I choose the "custom" then "install everything" option). You can switch from one to another.

Does Apache or php or mysql already come preloaded on Linux Red Hat? Yes, all of them

Any tips you want to give me when installing all this stuff. I had a hard ass time getting this to work on Windows, so now I gave up and went to Linux. As I use linux, I've never tried installing these under windows. I gather there are several installers around, some are reputed to work very well.

Your thoughts? What I am thinking is not for this list :-)

Thanks!! You are welcome. Hope it helps.
