Hello:

	Well, once every couple months I get the urge to finally get
proficient with *nix.  I started with SuSE 6.x and have been trying
everything up to SuSE 7.1.  Then I jumped over the FreeBSD.  I always
seem to hit road blocks that sidetrack me and I end up moving on to
other issues.

	Here is what I would like your shared wisdom on:  Right now I
run a web/email server at home.  It runs Win2k/Exchange 5.5.  I want to
get a *nix box up and running to host my webpage at home.  I am going to
stick with exchange for email because my family is already too
entrenched in it for me to switch now.  It also offers some features
that I just don't see as being available with any email host offered in
the UNIX community.  Which distro do you recommend?  Linux?  BSD?  Can
you recommend a good book or a good source of information on setting up
a web server?   I already have learned how to build, install and
configure (basically) Apache on SuSE and BSD.  My real problem is that I
would like to know how to configure Apache and the OS to allow for
remote editing of the web pages.

	I appreciate your help.
