Luckily I had a copy of Suse 9.2. Now I am not a Linux expert- I can get by, know most of the commands, even how to wget stuff, make and install. But I&#8217;d forgotten just how good YAST the Suse installer really is.  Getting Suse installed on an empty box took under 20 minutes- it identified everything- not bad for a Pentium 4 box, 1Gb ram. <\/p>\n<p>Network configuration was a doddle and I updated several packages from the internet- well YAST did that automatically and a newer version of the Kernel is well worth a reboot. I&#8217;ve used <a href=\"http:\/\/webmin.com\/\">Webmin<\/a> before- if you are struggling with Admin of a Linux system, Webmin is just superb. Once I browsed to the downloaded rpm file, YAST took over the install and before I knew it, Webmin was up and running- it uses a web interface on localhost:10000. If you&#8217;re configuring virtual sites, setting up Mysql users, etc, its very hard to beat.<\/p>\n<p>Then one final test- create an index.html in the htdocs folder &#8211; yup that showed up fine and a small php file with the one line inside a php block <\/p>\n<pre> phpinfo();<\/pre>\n<p> and that worked fine. Result! In about 2.5 hours.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was asked to setup a brand new empty box with Linux, mysql, php, webmin. Luckily I had a copy of Suse 9.2.
