Thanks for the reply...couple questions though. 1)...If the current Mandrake distro does not have the latest app such as Apache, PHP, MySQL, Perl Would it be wise to install mandrake as a personal workstation and then add the webserver apps after? 2) While I'm thinking about it..is there a list or page that shows/tells you what each distro relase is called? Example Redhat 9.0 = Sevren Redhat 10.0 Fedora Stuff like that? Is there a list for Mandrake?

Sorry if this is the wrong section to post this. I am somewhat new to linux/mandrake. I've tired Redhat 9.0 and Mandrake 9.2 Both are nice distros...but I see Mandrake is much better at allowing a newbie such as myself to learn the linux way... My question is...I would like to play around with a web server using linux...I understand that most servers are using Redhat 7.2 on up to 9.0...I find Redhat very hard to configure as a newbie...but Mandrake was alot more user friendly. Now...I see Madrake has the distro Mandrake Linux Corporate Server 2.1 located here http://www.mandrakesoft.com/products/corporate-server Is there a source to download this...possibly a trial version...or can I do what that distro does with regular Mandrake 9.2...or would any specific Mandrake Distro...since there are quite a few different distros for mandrake to choose from? Thanks for looking. Also...is there any decent Ebooks out that cover the 9.2 disro? BNN121
