Well, we'll see if you still think they're good GNU/Linux books after you know what they're doing.
My short/medium term ambition is to be able to connect a modem to my (Suse) Linux machine, download and install the latest Apache, PHP and MySQL and go from there ... ..
Well, I was always led to believe that SuSE came with good manuals. Maybe one of the SuSE fans here knows how easy network-based upgrades of it are? I'd suggest looking at a richer database, eg PostgreSQL, unless you have particular requirements for MySQL.
(I'm also new to the area having recently moved from Oxfordshire to Manningtree, near Colchester).
Well, if you can find any venues... ;-)
