Paladin9:
Right now I have a win2k server box that I am using as a server(duh). I keep my important things on it. I have a web site running on it using apache(just and experiment, I have to use my ip address to access it and the port number is not 80).  I also have it running as an ftp server so I can access my shit from anywhere I want(it has a password of course so I can write to it and so no one else can get to my stuff). Last of all, it of course if my home file server that is accessed by my pc's and mac's.  The thing is, I no longer want to use windoze. I would like to use linux. I  am pretty sure I would use slackware, but I do not know how to do this stuff! Is apache already come with slackware? and if so, how do I use it and configure it? What about ftp software? My big question is this; how do I do file sharing that could be used by windows and osx???  I tried doing this a while ago with samba but I could not get it to work right. I got frustrated and gave up, so I have been using win2k server since. Could someone please help make this change? If you help me I will be your best friend. Well not really... but I would really appreciate the help since I do not know what the hell I am doing.

Yes, Apache comes with Slack. I'm guessing configuration on Windows isn't any different from in Unix. And yes you can set up an ftp server. And yes you should be able to get Samba working to share files.

Paladin9:
great, so how do I do all of that?

flap:
Well are you asking how to install all of that specific stuff, or just how to install slackware in the first place?

Paladin9:
I already have slackware installed actually. I also just installed apache but I do not know how to get it running.  I know about coniguring it with the .conf file and stuff, but how do I get it running and how do I get it to run at startup? I tried "service httpd start" but that did not work. It said command service not found. In redhat, osx and many other os's, I could use the command "service" how come it does not work in slackware?
