Re: [newbie] Forcing 2.2.19 to be installed?

Okay, I've decided to wait until I can get 8.0 as a boxed set. Now, this may sound stupid, but what's the difference between the PowerPack and the ProSuite? Are they the same except the ProSuite has more applications or are they totally different and aimed at a different audience? Thanks

I'd install the servers right off the bat. Linux Mandrake 8 is the best one to use, IMHO, because it installs Apache with PHP, MySQL, and Perl right off the bat. Other distro's may not. Usually you have to install those separately which takes between hours and days depending on your knowledge
