<font face="sans-serif" size="2">I think I have posted this quite a
while
ago but it is still on my mind. We currently configure the hosts, pages
etc using a windows database and windows front end that I wrote quite
some
time ago. I keep getting the urge to convert it to a linux database and
a web frontend. However I would not do this if there is no interest in
using it.</font>

I would definitely be interested in this - I have some modest
experience with the LAMP stack, and also have some LAMP servers (ubuntu
and SLES) available for testing and development.<br>
<br>
Let me know -<br>
