Episode 2 - Ahead of Schedule

I look forward to your episodes. 1 and 2 are interesting.

Chess Griffin covers installing the Apache web server in Episode 56 of Linuxreality where he covers the apache.conf file.
To lock down Apache for expermentation, look for a line that says "Listen." Make sure this is set to "Listen 127.0.0.1:80." That way it only listen for the localhost. On some distros this may be in an Include line e.g. "Include ports.conf." I hope I've been clear enough for everyone to understand.
I hope I don't insult anyone, but if you have broadband, you should get a NAT router.
 
 

Thanks for the Linux News and especially the tip on Lecture Fox!
Lecture Fox Rocks!  As a father of 3 home schooled boys, my wife and I need all the help we can get.  Linux and open source apps (yes even a few for Windows) has helped us focus on certain subjects.  Educational Podcasts are also used sometimes.  I know most of the lectures posted on lecture fox are college level and too advanced for school aged children.  There was one called "The Wonders of Electricity and Magnetism."  It is a video lecture given by Walter Lewin a professor of Physics at MIT.  He is a really cool "Doc Brown" (Back to the Future) looking guy.  There were children present at this lecture and he did some great demonstations.  There is even a time index listed on the webpage to allow you to skip to your favorite part.  I highly recommend it for adults as well as school age children.
I also plan on watching many of these myself.
Keep up the good work.

If the goal is to set up a test environment for Drupal, why not use Xampp ? It is very easy to install (untar). Xampp is mentionned in the Drupal handbook.
 
Thanks for your podcast.
