RE: [PHP] Can I install Lihnux on My Windows 95 machine ?

the learning curve is smaller than most people think... if you are willing to learn, and refuse to be intimidated by the reputation that has been built up around linux, i doubt you'll have any problems installing and running/using it in a lot of ways, i think linux is probably a more "natural" OS for programmers... we're used to big scary text files where a single incorrect semicolon can cause unheard of errors in far reaching parts of the code.... linux is much the same way... a single obscure config file can bring down your entire system if configured incorrectly :) > -----Original Message----- > From: sono@selectcomm.ab.ca [mailto:sono@selectcomm.ab.ca] > Sent: Thursday, April 26, 2001 3:47 PM > To: B. van Ouwerkerk > Cc: php-general@lists.php.net > Subject: Re: [PHP] Can I install Lihnux on My Windows 95 machine ? > > > > I said be prepared.
