Drupal 4.7 configuration all around short tips

Hallo, I'm a Drupal 4.7 user.

I will write this page and add any short configuration steps on a very Beginner's base.

Of course I have very restricted knowledge about PHP, MySQL and content managements matters, so please consider this pages as my intent to support the expansion of Drupal Users and for their needs to start using it with very simple and short defined tips.

As I installed DRUPAL for the first time on my isp (internet service provider) web space, I strictly followed the suggestion from the DRUPAL Staff to install Drupal first on a virtual server at home. In fact I did that and for about a month I really tried to let my DRUPAL (v.4.7) work smoothly in two environments.

First on a MS Windows 2000pro Workstation, second on a REDHAT(linux) Workstation.

... to be continued.

P.S.
Of course this place may be not the right one to publish this, then I will ask the DRUPAL's webmaster to help me to post it in the right place. Thanks
