Bruce,
I don't know about SuSE, but its part of the RedHat distribution (assuming you choose to install it). I understand there are also easy to install packages for windows but, as a linux user, I have no experience of them.
Hope this helps.
Regards
Chris

I've managed to sell my boss on Linux. I've managed to sell my boss on PHP/Apache/MySQL as a stack, with the help of the wonderful FoxServ install package for Windoze. I've just helped him install the stack on Linux, and I can practically hear him rethinking his previous enthusiastic position on these technologies. Watching a newbie go through the install process made me realize just how painful it is. Now, maybe the pain is mainly my own fault. I tried to find the shortest path to a working stack, and settled on Apache Toolbox. Was this a mistake? Is there an easier way to get a full stack running starting from a SUSE or Red Hat personal installation?
