I only see one reply to your question, not 18. The other
posts to this thread were discussing that answer. That's
very normal and desirable. One of the strengths of this
newsgroup is the relative assurance that debatable answers
will be challenged and clarified and/or improved upon.
It doesn't cost you anything, and provides more information
that you can use in deciding whether or not to accept the
suggested solution.
As a general rule, if you're in the position of asking for
help, you should avoid acting like a jerk. I don't know
why so many people seem to have trouble with that concept.
If you aren't a jerk, you probably know the right answer..
Judging by appearance, a visitor from Mars might think that cricket
balls were as edible as apples.
Perhaps, to Martians, they are.
Its a natural human trait to think that your problams are the hard ones,
and stuff you have known since knee high is 'whet everybody (except
jerks)' knows..
Exposure to slightly wider cultural experience will in time disabuse you
of this notion..
It is interesting to note that the following response are *not answers*
to the simple question..e.g.
"How do I get Apache 2.0 working with RedHat 6.0?"
"Upgrade to Fedora core 27 or whatever"
"I'd try Slackware if I were you"
"*There is no compiled suite of Apache 2.0 for Redhat 6.0"
"Only a dork would want to put either of those on a decent computer"
"Apache 2.0 is more full of security holes than Redhat 6.0"
"With a brain like yours, perhaps you had better stick to Windows Vista"
"I don't know., but I wrote my own web server on DOS 2.1 using PHP"
"** why exactly would you want to do this?"
And so on..
*at least this one leads to the most likely correct answer
"You will have to compile the sources and due to the obsolescent nature
of it all, you will largely be on your own"
** and this one at least is a POLITE enquiry as to the context of the
question, rather than an insulting put-down..
