Okay, my response is intertwined with the message.

Idiot proof guide... hmmm... I wish that could be fully written
for it. No matter how many times you revise a guide, there is always a
way for confusion for someone, especially if there are differences in the
system's config, etc. Is the system that you are going to have your MUD
on Linux or Windows? If Linux, then I would recommend actually getting a
Linux partition set up. If you need a newer copy of Redhat or what not,
you can get it from http://www.cheapbytes.com for about $11 (with shipping
and handling). If you are going to run it on a windows based machine,
then you may wish to take another method, but I am not sure what method
would be best.

I personally see flames on that subject as useless. I have been
running Windows2000, Windows98 First edition, Linux Redhat 6.2 and (for a
while) Windows ME Beta3. There are issues with whatever OS you use. I
personally like a lot of Linux's features, but each individual must make
their own decision on that matter.
