Stupid Root...

I successfully set up a Ubuntu LAMP Server ..... get the basic config done, then install Webmin ....

I know Solaris, but Linux has enough of a twist that just 'effs me up!

Ubuntu ... aptget from the command line ...

The only thing it asked for durring the install was the root password. When at the login I put Root for the login and then my password and it didnt work.

Well I shouldnt say it didnt work. I put in Root as the login and my password that i typed durring install then it dropped down to another login. Nothing is GUI. Everything is text. I tried doing the visual install of Fedora and my monitor went blank and said "input out of limit"

I might try Ubuntu tonight.

Can I use any Linux install to run these free servers?
When it comes to Linux im about as retarded as it gets. I mean c'mon I cant even login.

Once at the login prompt I put root,my password and it wouldnt login. I tried about 10 different login suggestions that I found on the net and nothing worked. I downloaded Ubuntu last night so im giving that a whirl tonight.

Damn Floyd - you are having bad luck all around...

Did you do any type of package customization? Regardless, this install sounds like it screwed the pooch and I feel bad it did not work for you... Normally I just follow default workstation installation and add in whatever servers I want (web, ftp, etc...) and it just works.

Your problem is very odd and without seeing the installation not much I can say to try...

Yea Linux bones me everytime I give it a try. I think thats the reason I dont even like it.
