I am pretty familiar with Apache so the web part should be no problem. However I have two remaining issues and I am afraid my Linux skills are still in the neo-natal stage: Right! You are welcome! 1) Email - Sendmail is for SMTP which is fine. I can find the necessary documentation to configure that I think. What does one use for incoming (POP or IMAP)? Does Suse come with servers of either type? Yes. But it is more flexible and (in my opinion, anyway) faster and reliable Postfix. SuSE CDs include it (try with Yast o Yast2). As to POP or IMAP, I would recommend you another one, but it is a very short time you using linux for now... (also another SMTP server, nor sendmail or postfix, but...) Within some time, no doubt install qmail (both as smtp and pop server: all in the same "packet"). NOTE: Sorry, but I am too much happy and satisfied of using qmail as to not recommend everybody everywhere everytime). 2) Dynamic IP - I have a dynamic IP address from my ISP. Are there facilities out there compatible with Linux which could point my domain name to a dynamic IP from my cable ISP and keep track of me so that I can actually run the mail and web server from home? Did you try install DHCP client also included into SuSE CDs? It will help you with your ip address. Thanks in advance for the assistance. Thank you too!
