What is the EASIEST way to setup a Linux Web Server? I have a need to host some web sites, and have been trying to do so with an evaluation copy of Server 2k3. And while I have been able to get more than a few simple sites up, I am having trouble doing anything advanced, like setting up a simple in and out bound mail server, or getting PHP scripts to run. One option I am considering is seeing if there is a SIMPLE (meaning totally newby friendly) Linux build that might work. Does anyone have a recommendation on a Linux build that would include a web server, mail server and php compiler (or whatever the appropriate term is) that someone who has NEVER used linux could install, configure through some sort of reasonable "wizard," plug source files into and then go from there? Thanks in advance!

What do you recommend for a free and large web server? Hi, I already have a website but unfortunately it limits me to only 4 MB disk space. I have several audio files (of my radio shows that take up hundreds of all together MB) and I want to upload them to the site but can't because of the space. So I figure I could just upload these files on a larger server and then put a http link on my other website that would direct them to the file so they can download it. What web server do you recommend so I can do this? If you don't think there are any large, free servers out there, what do you think I should do? Should I just compress my files? Would that work in the first place? What free software would you recommend if I should do that? Much thanks in advance.

How do I find out if I have a Linux Web Server or not? Checking the Properties of My Computer shows: System: Microsoft Windows XP, Home Edition, Version 2002, Service Pack 2. I found out that I can have a Windows XP Operating System as well as a Linux Operating System but I don't know if this also determines my web server or not and how to determine whether I have a Linux Web Server or not. First: The reason why I need to find out this answer is that I was told in answer to another Yahoo question about how to install a redirect: "If you have a Linux Web server, then do this..." Secondly: Microsoft Help says "NOTE: Windows XP and Linux can coexist on the same computer. For additional information, refer to your Linux documentation." Well, I know I have windows. I don't know if I don't have Linux. One problem is that I don't know where to find my Linux documentation--isn't there some place on my computer where I should be able to look this data up?

How do I secure my web server using a certificate on a USB key? I have a web server running IIS 6 (sorry, UNIX guys!). I'd like to secure the access of my site to only some users. In my wildest dreams, I'd like my users to have a USB key with a key/certificate on it, then they could plug it in any PC and, if the certificate is not blacklisted or expired, the users could access my site. Otherwise, it would be blocked. I'd like the user interaction to be minimal, from the time they plug in the USB key. So, I'd like to avoid any configuration on the part of the users. Ideally, the solution should work on both Internet Explorer 6 and Firefox. Any ideas how I could make this happen? Thank you in advance for the detailed steps!

Link bars in Frontpage showing in offline browser preview but not on live site after uploading to web server? I do have Frontpage extensions enabled on the server. The site has page banners, link bars and a discussion forum and only the discussion forum works on the live site. So it seems that the Frontpage extensions do work, but not for the link bar and the page banner. When I open the live site (remotely) in Frontpage, it says in the location where the link bar should be something like: "add page to navigation structure to show linkbar" whereas it works perfectly well offline (locally) and I copied the entire file structure over to the web server. Do I have to re-create the navigation structure remotely? Is that normal? My ISP is 1and1 and I have Linux hosting.
