Well, we just had a box with a fresh install using
http://www.centos.org/ .. it cost about $500 to have someone do it for
us.. centos is redhat, apache & mysql and a bunch of other stuff...
now that i know what was used, i probably would just do it myself...
not to say that i could have done the install as fast
