Hi All,

I am soon to move over to Linux on my home machine. I am hoping to learn PHP and Apache so that I can develop website in ASP (for bigger clients) and PHP / Apache (for my smaller and cheaper clients). I am hoping to do some developing in my spare time at work, however, they only have standard Win98 machines.

Can I install the Apache, MySQL and PHP on a standard Win98 machine for my website developing? I so, where can I download the installations from?

Sorry it's one of them "do the research yourself questions" however I can't seem to find anyone talk about Win98.

Apache2 has a problem on Win98. It doesn't stop me using it, but it doesn't shut down as it should. I just have to forcibly close it when I want to. All my testing is on my Win98 machine.
