Milestone Achieved

[Larry Hartman]

99% of the time users post a question asking for help (mine tend to be a bit 
obscure, I'll admit)--however, today, I am sharing a major linux 
accomplishment for me.  

Last night I was able to conquer setting up a 
Linux/Apache2/PHP5/MySQL5/MediaWIKI webserver on my laptop.  About a month of 
solid learning and effort went into getting all of the software gadgets to 
work with each other...lots of visits to Ubuntu WIKI/Forums, and some 
googling to get the configurations down.  Eight months and three Ubuntu 
versions to get to this point, starting with no knowledge of Linux, other 
than how to spell it correctly.

Next step...get Tomcat running properly....then learning 
HTML/PHP/JAVA/SQL/WIKI code...not necessarily in that order.  I think I will 
buy some books to help me with those.

Thanx (K)Ubuntu!  

I'm free!!!!
