How are you running a server with Windows XP Home? Ubuntu I can see but the XP Home just isn't registering.

Its not really a server, I just run server apps (dedicated game servers / apps I make) on it and my WAMP. I have Linux on it because Im trying to work my self over that way for what I am using it for.

The first one (Why win xp is running on the less powerfull box dont ask) is for the most part dedicated to windows XP, while the second one is dedicated to Linux. Im planning switching to some other Linux OS to test them out. Also run a server version along side one of them.

You run WAMP on XP Home? That is really disturbing to me.

Windows Apache Mysql PHP, right? Im a 17 year old high school student so Im still just starting out learning linux. I have a hosting account with Unflux but its slower to keep having to upload files to check if something works. Ive tried running a LAMP server but for some reason I can never get the welcome screen to go away. I might try again but right now this is easyest for me. Also other server apps I run only run on a windows envierment at the moment. Its easyer to have one MySQL server than two for what I am doing. If you have a 1, 2, 3 easy step for setting up a LAMP server post a link I tried running one in Fadora Core 5 but that failed, as mentioned above. I havent tried it much in Ubuntu. Im waiting to learn it abit more before I install a server version.

I haven't gotten into trying LAMP yet as I am very new to Linux myself.

This looks like a good one to try but you need Ubuntu Server

My thing is I dislike XP home due to the slight restrictions Home has compared to Professional. I see nothing wrong with running WAMP as I am running it on an XP Pro laptop for the same reasons you are.
