If you are familiar with some distro already, go ahead and install that. Or you can just install RedHat (6.2 would be better). Minimally, you will have to select the base packages, no need for the compiler or most devel libs (or sources).
I do recommend installing ncftp though.
Basically, unselect all and install in GUI mode on one machine (better help in the GUI). Note what packages you are installing, and install them on your webserver. (except the X packages, of course).
Then go to a Redhat mirror and download your updates: bash, csh (ksh also if you installed it), libc, kernel, apache (bind if you are installing a nameserver also, even if just a caching nameserver). Also download ssh and openssl rpms (and the rpm packages from there -- openssl depends on the rpm-devel rpm.).
If you need to install php, download those updates as well).
rpm -U *.rpm in the downloads directory.
Then just init 1, init 3 and you are done [Just to be safe].
This should take about one hour, for a reasonably fast download line. (I have done it in 35 minutes, but I have some experience).
Its not hard to setup a webserver, but making it a secure machine is a lot tougher.
Also, if you need to setup a ftp server, do *not* use wu-ftpd. I personally use proftpd from CVS, and if youwant to try it out, the OpenBSD ftp port also has been recommended.
Set up another machine with compilers and libraries on it, so you can compile stuff.
Here is how you can install stuff that you have to compile:
download the source on the development machine.
./configure;make
This gives you the necessary binaries in the directory (or sub directories) where the source was compiled. Copy/usr/bin/make to this directory tar and bzip2 the directory (or just gzip). Move this directory over to the webserver, tar -Ixvf (or tar -zxvf). cd $srcdir;cp make/usr/bin;su -c make install;rm -f/usr/bin/make.
Remove the installation binary directory, and you are done.

I know the story. Flash crowd is also referenced in the Jargon file.
Thanks for an informative comment but flash crowd just doesn't have the same connotations as AOL Effect.
Well, it sound like the entire net is going to get slashdotted. I wonder if this needs a new name? The AOL effect(tm)? when everyone from AOL clicks on a comment board link to say ME TOO?
Your example is perfectly correct. The format when using IP addresses is not @10.20.30.40 but @[10.20.30.40].
Note the square brackets. This bypasses the DNS lookup, according to some RFC. I can't recall the number right now, but this has been reported to work on LIH ( http://lists.linux-india.org ). you could ckeck out the archives, if they have been restored by now.
Just to correct a couple of mistakes: Its the LTTE (Lankan Tigers of Tamil Eelam). They killed civilians, both Hindus and Buddhists, who were not Tamil in origin. Also, their policy of war has lead to the death of thousands of Tamils.

Well, I didn't say that only programmers use Unix. I said it is designed for programmers, by programmers. That other people use it is not denied, but they use it because its a good OS.
You have a point about unix dying out, but it is tangential to my point. My point was about the core users of Linux/Unix being programmers and hence the killer apps being programming tools. If you need apps for different purposes, either write them yourself/pay someone to write them/wait for someone else to do that. With the tools available, you have the first choice too.
Well, when you want to present project ideas to more programmers over a network, HTML works better.:) Its much more flexible.
Linux is designed to be as close to Unix as possible. Unix is an operating system by programmers for programmers. Its supposed to be good for programming, and that is what it excels in. It was never designed to be a mass consumer OS. So for any unix, the desktop is a new field altogether, like the server market is for windows.
Linux appears to be moving towards user friendliness, but it still is driven by the OS for programmers concept. So given that the main customer for any unix is a programmer, it is but natural that the killer apps should be programming tools. That is what is/was most demanded in this environment.
I hope that we will get better *productivity* apps, but my production requirements as a programmer are met by those programming tools:). They are productivity apps for me.
Office suite? HTML often is good enough for my requirements. What I need is better printing support, and I will be contributing to that after I finish my exams (couple of days more to go:().
Slightly different from NASA though. The space program has spun off quite a few benefits, including new polymers for surgical treatment. I do recall reading reports a couple of years ago (sorry, no data online) that at one medical conference, there were three major breakthroughs (locally again) in the treatment of cardiac problems. These were from the space program (material research in carbon fibres). This brought down the cost of treatment by about 20 -30%. That includes the cost of going to a developed country for treatment. The space program does contribute to Indian social needs, not just pride. And about the nuclear proliferation stuff, India needs nukes simply because its neighbours have them. Just apply the same arguments as for gun control on a far larger scale. (I don't agree with those either).

It is not that nuking the Pakistanis is more important to us, but nukes here are a question of survival. Pakistan is fighting a proxy war in Kashmir (with plenty of help earlier from the CIA and the US govt.). We have two hostile nuclear powers to contend with (Pakistan and China).
From the past thousand years, India has been attacked whenever it was militarily weak. Our prosperity has been only when the country was militarily strong.
And the education problem is not what you say, its because otherwise our politicians will never be voted to power otherwise:(.
And, it appears as if being a nuclear power has its benefits, we get listened to a bit more at the international level:)
