We have been building websites since 1995 and we were a bit strange then as we were an all Microsoft environment from design to hosting. Now, we use a great mix of technologies, but are still on the MS server platform. Recently, looking at the costs of implementing just the basic hosting platforms for .NET would mean the equivalent of our wages bill for 6 months!! This means we really have to look at Linux. What would be so helpful would be an area that real newbies could post and/or some real simple instructions on:
I think a subject area as large as this would probably really require top-level categories (please forgive me for a radical suggestion like this in my first post). That is, a 'Linux' category.
There may be more items required in the above list, but just that list would go a long way to help webmasters used to Microsoft get a start.
Another area that freaks me is 'recompile the kernel'. I am told that this is easy, but I'm afraid the procedure still eludes me no matter how much documentation I read!
I think the idea for basic tutorials in this area is fantastic and I hope it takes off.
Finally, let me thank whoever is responsible for these fantastic forums and I am ashamed that I have only just found them.
