Server in library?

[Brian Stone]

Bob,

I'm a Slackware (linux) fan myself. The current version, LINUX 96 has a
win95 like X interface. It inclues the Apache web sever and a POP server and
can be installed directly from the CD. $39. It's still UNIX and you need an
administrator to set it up. Easy if you know how.
