Why the recent interest in Linux? Well i have started developing a
website and want to use Linux as it offers better security. I also have
a view that Linux should have been the OS for micros had folk a few
years back got the development together. For what microsoft have charged
i do feel they could have done the development much better. Well enough
said. As for Mac recently things have taken off but one has to have
their machine, whereas with Linux one has the hardware ready for a OS.
So Linux IS the future OS! {Vista is another 'bag of joy' from microsoft.}

I have got a couple of machines that recently came my way, that i am in
the process of setting up - one for win2k and the other for Ubuntu.
Windoze for some of the software i've got until i find suitable
replacements and for the very useful additional phone line that BT
offers with its voice modem. [It's quite neat you plug in a standard
tone phone (it has an encoder) and you've got free evening calls to
either internet phone or standard].

Couple of questions?
- would i be best to put Linux on a separate machine and link the pair
through the modem or dual boot.
- i have read that one can use a 'Terminal Server' and run windoze and
linux from two separate machines. If this is a good method i'd be
grateful for further instruction on how to set it up as it saves a
second monitor.
