I'm very interested in learning about Linux in the context of
web-serving. I have a Linux system (166mhz with 2.5 gig) and a 33.6
connection (dialup) to my ISP... I'm planning on getting a cable
connection (155k) in march when it becomes avail in my area.

I'm wondering if I can configure the system without having a direct
connect yet. I'm looking for good resources to get me introduced to
apache & linux web-serving topics. I would appreciate any info

Thanks!

You can. Moreover, probably your system is already configured for it.
Try to start up a web browser and type http://localhost
Probably, you'll see something. If so, you have to just study apache
documentation (It should be included in the distribution, at least
in the source package) and begin to design your own web-site.

Of course while you have a dial-up connection, it would be very difficult
to make it visible from outside your machine. But if you are just learning,
this probably doesn't matter.

Having 128k or 155k sure is helpful, but it's not required. If you stick to
content, not flashy pictures, nobody will know that it's just a 33.6k
connection. Consider that you're sending mostly uncompressed text (html)
through serial ports locked at 115k... you should get some really good
transfer rates.

I run a web server on my linux system connected through a 33.6k modem.
Actually, it's a USRobotics X2 modem, but they only receive data at 56K.
They can't send that fast.

Sure, you can set up a web server with a dynamic IP address, but nobody will
know how to reach you until you tell them it. It's great for testing your
setup locally, though. Just use that or loopback (127.0.0.1) and test your
server (for example, lynx http://localhost/).
