I have a 486 PC with Redhat 4.2 installed which I had previously used as a webserver. I am trying to decide whether I can convert it to a workstation (w/ dialup to a national ISP)... and still keep Apache available (but of course not alive unless I'm offline) so I can play with a web/database on the machine. I guess my general questions are... 1. what deamons should I shut down ( besides HTTPD, SENDMAIL, ) ? 2. How? I believe I should just 'remove' Sendmail and I think I could either use the 'kill' for Apache or remove the reference in the appropriate 'rc' file ? Does anyone know which 'rc' file? 3. Am I going to want to use fetchmail to get my mail or can/should I use something like Netscape/Mail? 4. I have an ethernet card installed....is it possible that I can use it and a local address (with Apache) for development purposes when not connected to my dialup ISP? Thanks for your guidance.... I've not had to do this before and am wondering if I should just reinstall?
