Hi everyone,
Been using puppy in various forms for a few years now and have mastered a few basics such as multi-boot systems and installing additional software etc and recently became hooked on the idea of having my own small scale home server.
My enthusiasm was further enhanced by the discovery of "Webserverpuppy LAMP" which appears to have everything I need in one package but when I go to the hosting page for Lamp I find my browser is hi-jacked with a puppy-dog related set of adds.

Question.
Does anyone know if the "Lamp" distro is still available or if its been replaced with something else which would permit me to cobble together a home server which I could hook-up to my wireless router?
Thanks for reading this.
Regards.

Hiawatha is the equivalent to apache but smaller Server in Puppy 5.3.3

You might consider learning to do it yourself, and reap the reward of knowledge and "eternal having".
It's not that tough.

I also recommend hyawatha instead of apache. It's lighter weight and supposed to be more secure.

Hi Lobster & John Doe,
Thankyou both for taking the time to respond and for both pointing me in the direction of Hiawatha. This is exactly what I was looking for though I see I need to learn a little more about how things work before I can get it up-and-running the way I want.
I downloaded the iso for puppy 5.3.3 (Slacko) with a view to running Hiawatha from that distro but ran into problems with the pupsave file on two different systems. I finally found a work-around for this but have reverted to Lucid 5.2.8 which (on my systems) seems more stable.
A little bit of "egg on face" because since you both highlighted Hiawatha I now find its on puppy 5.2.8 anyway so I had no need to go looking
Thanks again for the pointers.
er... anyone know of a good puppy tuttorial on peer-to-peer networks?
Regards to all.
