So my next best option is java. > Actual Linux installation is fairly fast: the last install I did (RedHat Fedora 17 on a dual 3GHz Athlon box with 4GB Ram) took about the following times: - 1.5 hours to d/l and burn a 3.6GB DVD ISO image, though the time it takes depends on your broadband speed. - around an hour for the actual install. Exactly how long this takes depends on how much you customize the disk partitioning and the list of packages you ant to install. If you select 'all packages' and use two partitions (30 GB for root and the rest of the disk for /home) you should complete the install in just under an hour. - 1.5 hours to update all packages that changed since the ISO image was built - partly dependent on broadband speed. That should leave you with an installation that contains, among other useful stuff, Apache, PHP, Python, Perl, C, C++, Open Java, PostgreSQL, Mysql and Eclipse. If you're happiest with a Windows-like desktop, specify XFCE as your desktop. Additional configuration should be minimal. Apache and the various languages and databases should run if you enable their daemons because their default Fedora configurations are fairly sensible - thats Apache and any databases you need. All the other essential daemons will be enabled by default, including the firewall and the SELinux security module. If you're familiar with Unices at all, you should be off and running PDQ. There's a good graphical editor (gedit) as well as vi and emacs. -- martin@ | Martin Gregorie gregorie. | Essex, UK org |
