My main reason for wanting Linux is to get it running as a web-server, while
I develop websites (using PHP, SSI, SQL etc.)

Not to fussed about 'Office' stuff. My reason for needing a dual-boot machine
is that I /hvae/ to use M$ stuff for work and college.

Most of my website stuff is developed on my RiscPC, using !ZAP (a

However I'm making more and more use of DreamWeaver on the Windows PC, but
still want to have access to a decent webserver for PHP/CGI etc.
