Install on Linux Desktop?

Hi

Never played with linux before and don't really have the skills to manage a linux server with text based commands!!

Looking to install xamp but since I have a spare PC is it possible to install a Linux desktop version and install Zencart?

This is only for me to work on locally before uploading - not for a live site!

Re: Install on Linux Desktop?

If you never used any Linux before, I'd recommend Ubuntu since it's quite easy for beginners (and one of the most popular right now).
There is a Linux version of xampp, which is called LAMPP.

I no longer provide installation support on forum for all my modules. However, if there are real bugs with the modules please feel free to contact me

Re: Install on Linux Desktop?

I installed Ubuntu server version but it didn't seem to have a GUI so I knocked it on the head. Will get a desktop version if the following questions errs towards Linux. I have 4 XP machines at present.

Side question: For a development environment is there much difference between using a windows system with XAMPP or a Linux system with LAMPP?
