Oh boy do I really want to try this, but I'm terrified of it. What I'd like to install is Linux, Apache, mySQL, PHP3 and Perl. But I've never done anything vaguely like that in my life. From what you've seen of my "logical but completely uneducated" way of figuring things out, do you think it would kick me in the pants and leave me sobbing for weeks? Is there documentation on how to do this stuff that's written in English? And any idea how big a partition I'd need for it, assuming it was for in-house testing purposes only?
As a sidenote, I did manage somehow to install Win98 on one partition and Win95 on another so that I could test pages in MSIE3. I couldn't retrace those steps if I tried (I think it involved facing Mecca and burning incense). As far as I can tell official or unofficial documentation on how to do this simply doesn't exist, and it wasn't meant to work at all.
