Fan-fic site

[Stephen Partington]

There is a great deal on wordpress both in print and online. But any basic
lamp set up would do, you can even get a free wp instance at
<http://wordpress.org>wordpress.com to evaluate.
OK. WordPress gets better reviews. I guess what I need to do before finding
a shared host that supports WordPress (which I suspect will be most of
them) is to set up my development site on my home computer.

So what is that?

* Fedora on virtual machine. (On the theory I'll be hosted on Red Hat --
I'll want a Red Hat derived distro.)
* Apache, or maybe Tomcat, serving local host
* WordPress (and pre-requisites)

A dead tree book on WordPress
Eclipse or whatever IDE you develop PHP in (maybe)

A web authoring program.

Feedback is much appreciated.
