Jerry,
Understandable. Is I was looking for a full LAMP stack (Apache, MySQL,
PHP, etc) would a groupinstall be a good option, or does it install a
whole bunch of other garbage that is not necessarily needed for web
serving?
I reviewed the document you linked me to but I still seem to have questions.
