Last time I dabbled in Linux was about 5-6 years ago when I created a proxy server and e-mail server for the office then (we didn't have a host yet back then). I wanted to try and setup a webpage server running in Virtual PC and Fedora, however due to the fact that I haven't been updated with the current changes and that my desktop is an old Pentium 4 (1.2 Ghz), installing Fedora in Virtual PC was a task uncalled for. It slowed down my system and I couldn't do anything else with it with both Windows and Fedora running simultaneously. So searching for an alternative I ended up using Ubuntu (Dapper Drake or 6.06) which is my first time using it. So far after blotching up with my first attempt to install it, I finally found a nice Perfect Setup Guide and just customized it a bit to add XAMPP for LINUX instead of the LAMPP installation. With ssh already installed, I just access the LINUX box using Putty client. So far it works fine. Initial results here
