Hi,
I'm running a mixed network of NT 4.0 Servers, NT 4.0 workstations, and Red Hat Linux 7.1. I am running windows IIS 4 on the backup windows NT 4.0 server and Apache Web Server on one of the windows NT 4.0 workstations, but the best deal is the Apache Web Server that comes with Red Hat Linux 7.1. I did a complete installation of Red Hat Linux and it provides the Apache Web Server, PHP4, perl, MySQL database, and the firewalls already install right out of the box. If you have a recent version of Linux there is a good chance you have all of the above options. MySQL databases can be managed through a web based interface that make it very easy to create databases, add tables to the databases, insert, update, or delete records, alter tables to add, delete, or change fields, perform SQL queries, etc. Two of my favoites are listed below:
phpMyAdmin Written in PHP4
MySQLMan Written in perl
Either of these programs can be download freely from the web complete with source code. A search of google, Yahoo, etc should provide serveral site where these programs are available.
