Since I'm a newbie, I was looking for some basic "how-to" info on Monkey. I tried launching Monkey (I've got DSL 0.92 installed to my HD) and I heard the hard drive shuffle a bit but no application appeared. Is that normal or did it fail to run? I'm running DSL on a Pentium 133 notebook with 40 mb ram and 1 gb partitioned to DSL.

I'm also trying to figure out what PCMCIA NIC card I should get for this notebook. It had a Fujitsu FM 10304/8 Ethernet Card (lost, but the Windoze drivers are still there) and still has a Montana 28.8 Modem (worthless to Linux since it's a Winmodem).

Thanks,

Paul

Remember, DSL already has a full SQL implementation (SQLite).

It may be able to do everything you need, and it uses a LOT less memory than MySQL.

Monkey is a background server process, so it doesn't smile and wave to you when it is started. So yes, it is normal.

Once started, you should be able to visit your local website.

Open up Dillo, Firefox or links on the same computer and type:

http://127.0.0.1

or

http://localhost

and you should see the default web page on you new server.

I'll be darned, you're right! I never noticed that before. I don't think it will work for the one site I currently have using mySQL (it's using a "protected/compiled" script I purchased for that site). But it might be usefull if I decide to add a forum to one of my sites. Any "lite-weight" forum scripts out there?

Cool! It works! That was just too easy. You wouldn't believe how hard it was to get Apache and mySQL working on my Windoze XP system for prototyping websites... I'm -really- starting to like DSL, looks like it has darn near everything I need!

Now I'm looking for a PCMCIA NIC for this system. Any suggestions? I'm looking at a Netgear FA411 which looks like will work but is pretty slow...
