Hi. I'm considering installing a linux web server in our office. Currently we have 4 static IPs with 1 dsl line which is connected to our Windows 2000 server machine for networking.

I'm completely new to linux, and wondering how I can deploy the linux web server in this environment. Is it possible at all? If so, what would be the deployment plan? If there are some resources which I can learn from, it would be great. Thank you in advance.

should be fine.

As far as i know adding a linux box to a windows domain can be done. However im not sure how easy that is.

Other than that, Just build the server like any other server and give it an IP, hostname and gateway.

You will probably want to search for a decent linux distro that can do a LAMP install ( Linux , apache, Mysql , Php )

I would recommend.

Fedora Core

CentOS

Ubuntu

In that order.
