The server hardware is a Compaq Presario
5020 running RedHat Linux, with a lot of upgraded software from the basic
release. Frankly, I would not recommend running anything
other than Win* on a Compaq, since they are not documented
well, have poor support and use a lot of non-standard
hardware but only supply Windows drivers. I have actually
had a Compaq support person tell me (and he may be correct)
that the only way to change settings on their hardware is
through Win95/98. Since NT is not fully PnP yet, it can't even be
set up there. Also, the only software install option is to
overwrite everything on the machine. Compaq includes a
"Quick Restore" CD which will restore the machine to the
factory configuration, and that's it. Oh well, live and
learn. Next time, I'll buy Gateway or Dell if I want to
burden myself with a PC. More likely, I'll buy another PowerMac
now that Linux is running well on PowerPC hardware.
I
am running the Apache
web server with some security
modifications.
Original graphics were made on a Macintosh (actually, a PowerComputing
PowerCenter 132 for the earlier stuff,
with the later stuff done on Apple machines) using
Photoshop and
Illustrator. Most of the pages
were done in either Claris
Homepage or asWedit, with some done in vi(1).
