Hi ALL
I am new to linux and AxKit but I want to set up a simple linux based Axkit server for learning purposes. I would like to choose a linux distribution that has a tried and true track record with perl, apache, modperl and AxKit. What which linux distro would satisfy my requirement? Would I have to install perl from source?
At the risk of starting a holy war, all I can do is recommend what I use.
I know other developers here use Debian, Gentoo and so forth. I personally use Mandrake (on both my desktops and my servers). Their apache/mod_perl/perl installs are current enough, and built friendly enough, that I don't have to build anything from scratch to get it working with AxKit.
If you do a Mandrake install, make sure you install libxslt1-devel and all its dependancies (it should automatically detect the dependancies for you). Or, once your OS is running, you can type "urpmi libxslt1-devel" as root, and it'll install what it needs.
Beyond that, installing AxKit is pretty straight forward.
