I AM a beginner, and I have also had the following recommended to me:
SourceForge.net > Appolo 3.5 Uniform Server Package
I've been having a LOT of problems with trying to setup a testing server online (
see thread), so I really would like to know which package will be the easiest and BEST for me to use to test locally.
I'm also wondering if this will suck up system resources all of the time, or if these programs will just launch when I'm working on my test site locally.
Please advise.
Thanks!
Jeff
