If this is not the right place for this, please let me know and I apologize if
that's the case.  But someone suggested I sign up for this list and ask my
question here.

I would love to be more web-savvy.  Most of the people I know think that
signing up for a hotmail account is a great accomplishment :) I've managed to
make my own website with Microsoft Frontpage, tweak some of the HTML, buy a
domain name, a place to host it, etc.  I'm not a complete web-idiot.

However, I'd really love to be able to run Horde/Imp on my computer.  But...I
have no idea how to do this.

I know I have to have Apache, and PHP, but I'm not sure...what I need to do to
get them, and when I have them, what I do with them.  I've downloaded things
that say 'Download this' and I think they were tar.gz files or something like
that (I'd look them up, but I'm not on my home computer...my apologies), but
then it asks me what application would I like to use to open them, and I don't
know what I'm supposed to use, or if I have the correct application to open
them.  And do I need Unix/Linux?  And would that clash with Windows ME?

I'm a bit lost here, and I don't really know anyone that can help me...the
people I know that *do* know how to do these things just say, "Oh, well that's
simple" and leave me feeling foolish, and I still don't get answers.

Again, if this isn't the place to ask this, please let me know, and maybe tell
where I SHOULD go to get answers to these questions.  I'd love to be more web-
savvy.

Kimberly
