I think I might actually use a wiki, so I was thinking about that. Gallery looks cool, too. If I can master that I might use it on <a href="http://www.adriancc.org" rel="nofollow ugc">Adrian Christian Church</a> You&#8217;re right about the command line. I need to learn that stuff. I&#8217;m trying to use it more, but I just need to force myself. I still haven&#8217;t made my way through an entire book on Linux, so yes, I need to rtfm. Thanks for the ideas. I may have more questions later.</p> Thanks for the ideas, friend. I think I might actually use a wiki, so I was thinking about that. Gallery looks cool, too.

I’d advise staying away from web interfaces that perform administrative tasks (like webmin).

Maybe you could install some php wiki software too. phpWiki is decent.
