Hey

I have a PC next to me that noone uses, so i want to know if you can do this:

Have a linux server OS like Ubuntu with apache, php, html and mysql

Then put my php scripts on it and use that to test it? Would this work?

Yes With The Correct Software

Invent Does it all the time

you could also reprogram the system to a hosting platform/os i have found its legal if ur intrested ill hunt it up for you

[Luno1599]

Yes if you would post me a link or PM
Also would this work if you partitioned your HDD?

[Josh-H]

Yeh of course its possible.

yup, quite easy to do as well there are a number of linux apps that'll even set up the server, sql php etc etc for you. Useful for haveing a home testing server. Just network the comp up to your lan, and u have a local webserver ready to use
