linux

after a few hours playing with linux, i've got an extra hard disk installed, network, cvs, samba, apache webserver and the intranet site setup.

ssh looks more problematic - need to compile zlib for it, yikes, this isn't easy peasy windows pointy clicky but once it's setup it should be rock solid, unlike the aforementioned.

going to need a recent version of java and finish the mysql install too.
