I babbled in this post and most of my questions that i asked are just my
thoughts i think you can tell
what is important for me to actually know now. the one area i would love to
hear your oppinions are is
to sever or not to server.
as you have probably guessed i have spent the last couple of days checking
out
studio express. I got all the way up to finding a web host and that is when
i felt
i didnt want to be stuck with ms at the same time i dont like being at the
mercy of hosting companies.

i was looking into Redhat although someone with your knowledge might use
something more like
slackware which is not so dumbed down.
I have talked to my wife and think that if it makes it easier and better for
us that perhaps i should get a server. I would like 1 day to open an office
and have a few computers (about 5) connected to a server.
the 2 computers we have now we both need. I really wonder what it would
take to have my own server, run current editions of mysql and what ever gui
i choose. i can not see spending more than a dsl line ( right now ) and
wonder if that would be enough for about 5 visitors at a time. the DSL line
is the fastest verizon offers and for the most part the speed is good. is
it worth it to have full control - this i do not know.
could i buy a good server and install a cheap version of linux? the most I
could put together is $1000.
and also security is an issue. perhaps it is better to wait.
please tell me what you think about this idea and if you think it sounds
good.
what is the cheapest version someone with my knowledge can get?
i will however still have access to the internet while working so that is
good- incase i need help
i guess the bottom line is can you help me configure a good server for about
$1000 that will also
be an investment for later on?
do you think a dsl line will be powerful enough or should i just stick to
what web hosts offer.
security is also an issue.

Say No More :) - you had me with "I would choose" from your last reply.
I was actually thinking about this last night. i do remember reading
something about 0/1 I am just not sure where i read it - does access have
something like a(-1/0 for if statments)? i think i remember something about
that to.
thank you for not only helping me but for also sharing what you know.

Trust me my friend, I am very grateful to you already and would not leave
with out saying a thank you.
and will probably always atleast lurk here.
there are other things happening in my life that are getting in the way as
well.
there have been so many posts I deleted and have saved on my desk top - i
dont want to bore you to death.
the last choice i have to make is - to have my own server and total control
or settle with old versions of mysql and what ever gui they offer.
another reason is i feel funny that i have not completed the database yet
and it probably looks like i am not trying my best. while my writting does
not let me express myself very well. in the last couple of months I have
learned alot about my choices.
well in the past i would have deleted this.... see what you been missing :).
if you feel i would be better off just using what my host offers i will go
that way.
i look foward to the day that I can return this favor and i do believe I
can.
you have a friend in New York.
