[Glastonbury] PLEASE HELP

[tim hall]

Blimey, what a mammoth thread :-)

by the way Tom, could you /please/ Give your mailings a more informative 
subject line. At various points in the future people are likely to ask the 
same questions - if this thread had the words Apache and say, 'Aaaaargh!' in 
the subject line it would help find it if anyone needed to refer to it in 
future.

Although Notepad will work };-]
_never_ let any M$ software edit any of your webpages, whatever you do - 
Word, FrontPage and the like produce evil code full of Windows-specific stuff 
and loads of extra pointless additions that you didn't ask for.

Linux is brilliant for anything to do with the internet. I can understand why 
some people might want to use another o/s for say, playing games or 
multimedia stuff. But not the internet. Use L+A+M+P as this is what all the 
rest of us either know, or in my case, am learning too. Then it's much easier 
to help each other.

Before anyone starts. I use Windows less than you do ;-)

cheers
