You know I really want a Linux install more than anything but I haven't got the first idea on how to start creating one! I will have a look at those you have suggested to me. The reason I didn't want to create another install on my web server is that I would get too confused with two copies flying around! I would like to be able to test an instant of it without bringing the whole web server down with me! > Short answer is that it is time to setup that Linux desktop machine you > always wanted :-) > > However, PHP Triad worked very well for me when I installed it about a > year ago and I am guessing that it has only got better > (http://sourceforge.net/projects/phptriad).
