Linux as a web server is a poor choice here, since it can't run the VFP app or business objects on itself; in order to use VFP for web app development, you're pretty much committed to IIS. I'd suggest that you wstart by picking up a copy of Rick Strahl's "Internet Applications with Visual FoxPro 6.0" from Hentzenwerke;
www.hentzenwerke.com os their web site.
