After a lot of late nights the past few weeks, hibernation is looking
very tempting :)

Well, the LUG server supports MySQL as far as I know. I will have to
check the availability of any others.

Although Java is very widely used on the Net, I wouldn't go as far as to
say that it was the 'language of the web', all I know is that it pisses
me off that most of the Linux browsers are not Java enabled out of the
box. I tend to skip past these sites as I cant be assed to wait for the
JVM to download. lol, but that's just me.
