    Hello Bret,

    Thanks for your comments and advice, I have well taken your point about
    needing to know more about my Linux OS. I am trying but it's a slow and hard
    process for me, not having any system admin background and knowing only XP.

    In answer to your questions, I am using RH 9.0
    I am, unfortunately, the only who is attempting to upgrade and maintain Linux.

    I know how to follow instructions to install with rpm. My problem is 1) I
    don't what rpm's to run for apache upgrade and 2) if I don't know what rpm
    upgrade does, if it'll remove the older version of apache and take care of
    everything else.

    I know apache is a very integrated important part of RH so I don't want to
    jump into the unknown territory any more than I have to.

    I'm trying to, first I have to gain some confidence with my spanking new
    operating system, hopefully with a little help from more knowledgeable people
    such as yourself.

    thanks Leila
