[Herefordshire] New to Linux .. Question ..

[ChrisColeman]

Matt,

      thanks for that , apologies about the font and the ntfs ..

    Actually I need the file system so that I can use NTBACKUP from my XP to 
back up my windows system, which contains work I would prefer not to loose, 
which is why I quoted NFTS, but I guess any file system that XP can 'write 
on' would do the trick ..

    Regarding the HW, well there's nothing unusual. Just a P3 processor a 
small amount of ram, a 10 gb HD, a terminal, keyboard, mouse and an ethernet 
card .. If you need more specs. let me know and I'll get in there and have a 
look ..
    I really only need it to test PHP (re: Apache) scripts and to do the 
backups. I am considering running my own WWW server but that would probably 
be next year ..
    Anyway  I don't see any great advantage in running my own WWW server 
especially as the BB upload speeds are always quite lower than the download 
speeds, in practice I don't know how restrictive that is , but then perhaps 
that's a different subject ?

Rgds, ChrisColeman.
