    Default linux servers?

    i'm interested in purchasing a POS server for home development purposes (going to configure the LAMP stack)

    the issue remains that i do not know anything about servers/linux/apache

    so i have several questions:

    do servers normally come with an operating system?
    is linux free?
    where would i get linux?
    is apache free/where to get apache?

    URL's to the proper place are also appreciated, thanks.

    Apache is 100% free and you can get it at Apache.org. However, if you plan to install mods and such, you might need to get a particular release.

    You don't know what your talking about.



    Linux is free - Opensource

    LAMPP - is a compilation of the most common web server production applications/daemons.

    apache is available nearly anywhere - google.com is your friend.


    You don't need a certain release of apache for certain mods, the most common mods you will be using don't need a particular version - apache 2.x.x will do you fine...

    besides lamp will do you fine.

    Linux is an open source operating system, which means that its free to use.
    There are a number of open source Linux operating systems to choose from.

    Check out TotallyPenguin.com for Linux help and information.

    Apache is also open source, which you can download at apache.org

    do servers normally come with an operating system?
    >> Yes

    is linux free?
    >> Yes, as per geek's definition of 'free' the guy is 'free' to give you with source code for $0 or add a sales value VAR $x usually they do it in the form of extended product support contract.

    where would i get linux?
    >> Any place, you can pretty much find official sites for feeding a distro complete name into a search engine.

    is apache free/where to get apache?
    >> Yes it is free, http://www.apache.org/ start with the no-frill bare bone of HTTP Server, PHP is also free but by another organization as an addon to the Server, same goes to MySQL.
