I've been adviced to try Ubuntu Linux. Do you think it'll run on my old 
irons?  - I like the expression! :-)

Hmmm - you've got a point here, though XAMPP actually delivers updates 
now and then, but the latest version was not an update, because of 
Apache upgrade. As they write in the install: "This time you have to 
move your own data by hand...".

Anyway, I think I'll follow your advice and dive into "stock" PHP, 
Apache and MySql. And then I will try out one of your rpm:
typo3-ImageMagick4-4.2.9-1.3.src.rpm

If I take one of your TYPO3 3.7.0 rpm's can I then upgrade easily to 
3.8.1 the smart way with symlinks?

Another question: (Maybe a little out of topic.) How can I access this 
linux box from home. I have to enter the network through a Cisco VPN client?
