Re: [Staffslug] Best Linux Server Distro for LAM (perl/CGI)

Hi all, Thanks for all your help, comments and suggestions.  I am back at the drawing board as its getting too complicated now.  All I want is to write the scripts which will execute correctly on any LAMP server.  The current site (it's a local school) wants to get away from being tied to an asp server which limits their ability to host the site at a reasonable cost. I know ASP quite well and I can do all the HTML/CSS/Javascript bits.  So all I need is a standard LAMP server on my LAN to test the conversion from ASP to PHP or whatever is most common.  The only reason this site needs server side support is because of the databases being used and it also provides the ability to introduce sessions, blog(s), forums, comments page etc for parents and PTA etc to use at a later stage. So to re-phrase the question, what is the easiest route to achieve the above.  Fortunately this is non-urgent.
