I am thinking about purchasing my own dedicated red hat 7.2 server.

But, I am not too familiar with anything relating to red hat (or any other server OS). Is there anyone here who would be willing to help me out if I got this server?

ive only ever used red hat for a desktop OS and i wasnt too wise on it!! I broke the computer very quickly!

i have a question though, if you were to transfer the data to this dedicated server, would we loose all our stuff again? if so, i need to start making a backup now :p - pesky 56k... lol

cheers,
tom

1st off, you should always make a backup.

2nd off, I am not just going to switch it over and say good bye to everyones data.

3rd off, IF I do get this server, I will notify you guys in advance if moving your stuff (subscribe to the news letter).

4th off, I will attempt to move all your stuff.

5th, I will probably keep this server for a while after I move to the new one, so just in case anything goes wrong, I still have this one with all the files.

Though, since this is a dedicated server, I get more power and whatnot, but it also means more responsibility.

I am not sure if I will even move pcplayground to the server.

if you've never used red hat or linux for that mater it will be hard dont expect any fancie guis or anything easy for that mater since its a server it will be stricly command prompt i think you should go pick up a book on red hat 2.1 servers

I have used red hat & mandrake on a user end. But never used it that much anyways.

I have linux for dummies :)

Redhat should come with httpd , php and mysql, just tell the installer to install em. You can install a x winodws and a gui if you think it will be easier. Redhat has some frontends for httpd and server thingys.
