[brlug-general] Desktop Linux

[Petri Laihonen]

I downloaded the 6.06 server edition just to test the LAMP setup.
I admit it was quick to install. On sub 1Ghz machine it took under 15 
minutes to install and be "ready"

However, I've only had about 30-60 minutes since the installation 
completion, and I have yet to figure out where to configure apache. All 
virtual domains and especially how to set "index.php" as one of the 
index files. The setup is so completely different from any other distro 
I've installed earlier, that I need to re-learn where to find and what 
controls what.

"slocate httpd.conf" is sort of useless, as there is nothing in that 
file except some notification about backwards compatibility. (If I 
remember that right)

Perhaps next week I'll crack down and resort to RTFM.
