Well, if you've done all that, you have outclassed my
experience in the *nix world (stay around so I can ask
you some questions esp. apache, once I get a handle on
what to ask ;-))
If I remember, at the beginning, you were not sure
about the monitor or the video card. Maybe you can do
some "hardware reorganization" at work and swap for a
monitor and video card with a pedigree.
Just a thought.
