I wouldn't call myself an expert, but IMO I would go with a Linux server. I use SUN for more hardcore data storage and processing but I use Linux for all of my network services (DNS, NIS, Apache, etc). I don't run a huge web server, but your Dell (I'm not a HP fan, had multiple hardware problems on close to everyone I have ever used) running a version of Linux should be fine. I wouldn't recommend 7.2 though Smilie The newer stuff, for the most part, has bigger/better/faster features and up-to-date security patches.

Solaris is my workhorse and Linux is my front end. Just my $0.02.

Oh yeah - if you are comfortable with the install process, I would re-install anything that comes from a vendor. There are, often times, lots of things you don't care about or need, and most of the time their partitioning (once again IMO) sucks.

NAME
Web::Simple::Deployment - various deployment options DESCRIPTION
This file documents common deployment methods for Web::Simple. If you feel one is missing, please ask in the IRC channel and we'll work with you to add it. CGI
The most basic deployment option is as a CGI script loading and running your Web::Simple-module: #!/usr/bin/env perl use Your::Web::Simple::App; Your::Web::Simple::App->run_if_script; Save that as script.cgi and your web server will handle it correctly. Plack-Server This works in with exactly the same code as CGI deployment. However instead of letting your web server load script.cgi, you run this on the command line: plackup script.cgi Self-contained CGI Sometimes your app is so small that you have only one or two tiny classes that you want to run as a CGI script. Web::Simple offers a helpful mechanism to achieve that. #!/usr/bin/env perl use Web::Simple 'HelloWorld'; # enables strictures and warnings for the file # additionally, HelloWorld is upgraded to a # Web::Simple application { package HelloWorld; sub dispatch_request { sub (GET) { [ 200, [ 'Content-type', 'text/plain' ], [ 'Hello world! It is a fine ' . HelloWorld::Helper->day ] ] }, sub () { [ 405, [ 'Content-type', 'text/plain' ], [ 'Method not allowed' ] ] } } } { package HelloWorld::Helper; use DateTime; sub day { return DateTime->now->day_name; } } HelloWorld->run_if_script; AUTHORS
