I really need to look at Slack again.  But most of the schools in this 
area are using rpm based distros so I am learning to set up LAMP on 
CentOS 5.2 right now.  The District Superintendent is wanting a blog and 
I am looking into how to set up Wordpress.  It took about 2.5 hours 
using Debian.  CentOS is taking a little longer.  Peace, Dennis
