Hi Please forgive me if this question is often repeated; I have not found anything that answers the specific questions I have. I am trying to get a small charity's library catalogued and online as simply as possible. I have a (relatively) relaxed time in which to do this, so I can probably learn some stuff as I go along. What concerns me is to make sure I can get hold of what I need either cheaply or for free, and learn only what I must. In your opinion what is the simplest way for a novice to go about setting up everything that Koha can do for this library? The FAQ tells me I need Apache, Perl and some extra modules, but others have pointed me to MySQL. I'm a bit lost. I would like to learn these tools but I don't want to waste time. My really big question is: If I'm starting off with only a bare PC running either Windows or Linux, can you tell me which are the cheapest, easiest programs to download and install? I will just go with any advice here. And secondly, would I greatly hinder things by running the Win32 version? Again sorry for the simplicity of the question, no doubt I'll have far more complex issues soon enough! V grateful for any help. best Ross -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/beginners-question-tf4537111.html#a12949490 Sent from the Koha - Discuss mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
