Re: Last supported version for windows 95

I don't believe this list should become a platform for the Windows VS Linux debate. I did my best to suggest nothing as to how he would get Windows 2000, because quite frankly, I don't have a suggestion, or a solution. I do know that a mondern-day Linux distro would be just as resource intensive, unless you'd expect a Windows guy to work strictly from the console. All I am trying to suggest is that if you are going to make the jump to Linux/Apache and you are not familiar with either, be prepared to devote time to getting it working. Otherwise, stick with what works instead of trying to "reinvent the wheel." -Aaron Kenney On 5/22/06, Alf Stockton <alf@stockton.co.za> wrote:

No one wants to spend time where it is not required to get the job done. I've set up PHP on Apache on Fedora 4 and 5. Done using yum, this can actually be an easier setup than on Windows. But I have found the MANUAL installation on Fedora to be more difficult than that of the MANUAL installation on Windows/IIS simply because I am less familiar with Fedora. There are some situations where I have been forced to use a manual installation of PHP, so this is always a concern for me. I say if you just want to get PHP up-and-running quick and dirty, stick with what you know so that no time is wasted. As the original question included inter alia:-

Well I'm calling for your help after days and nights of trying the installation of php with no results. My only sin is to have an unsupported OS (win 95 and PWS 4), so >> every installation of any version have seem close to a nightmare.

Are you suggesting that John Jairo Vega Angulo should go out and buy(I am sure that you are not suggesting that he steals one) a copy of a suitable version of Windows to then discover that on his old hardware it runs as slow as a pig and therefore should also go out and buy some new hardware. As well as go through the learning curve of the new Windows OS.? -- Regards,
