if you buy from rackshack, you'll have to install everything, apache, linux/windows, perl, php, mysql, etc. manually.

There is somewhat of a problem making a webserver on a broadband connection. Number 1, most ISP's don't allow you to host your own web server. How do i know this? Because i tried it myself. But, if you find a way around it pls let me know. I've heard of something like IP routing, or something along those lines. Neways, if you wanna run a windows server, use Xitami (www.download.com) and search for xitami. Best webserver there is for windows. Plus, goto www.php.net and download the php plugin, they even have a self installer for xitami which makes it run perfectly. Use activestate perl for your cgi works great with xitami as well. If you are going to run a Linux server, use Redhat linux, it has everything pre-installed and ready to go.

gl to ya.
