First of all, the kernel's name is "Linux". There are many distributions depending on what you want to do with the machine. I'm not sure which is best for just running a web server, but you might...
The elegant way to do this is to use the Apache DirectoryIndex directive, but that requires access to the Apache configuration or a .htaccess file. Failing that, you can use a redirect as...
You need to configure your server so that it sends appropriate Content-Type and Content-Disposition headers. The easiest way to do this is using a server-side script such as pyro's force download...
There is no extension to do this (to the best of my knowledge). Fortunately, a trivial modification of your about:config will do nicely. (See this page for instructions.)
To clarify, I assume you are looking to register a second-level domain name, not buy a TLD. The former is simple, the latter extremely rare. (The only case I can remember was that of .tv.) You can...
You might want to look into SOAP-DSIG, which is a W3C Note proposing digital signature extensions for SOAP. Digital signatures would allow you to determine if the source is who they claim to be....
Presumably you want to save the contents of the form, rather than the source code? As Tweak4 says, the latter is already there. If you want to do the former, you will need to use a server-side...
The executable is a normal one and can be written in pretty much any programming language that has standard input/output support. (If I remember correctly, Visual Basic has problems in this area. I'm...
For a really responsive chat system, you need to use Java or something similar along with a custom server, but you can get reasonable approximations using a combination of PHP and JavaScript. You...
Some nice imagery there, Mr Herer. I use the same basic model, except the server has a rather larger storage capacity. :-) (Which is mostly unused at the moment, but such is life.) I do a lot of work...
Unfortuately, HTTP is designed as a "pull" rather than "push" model, so it will involve some trickery to get this effect. You could do theoretically something with JavaScript and a server-side...
Welcome to the forums. If I'm reading this right, I think you need to create the images in GIF format with transparency. The background will then show through in areas that are transparent.
If you want to include code directly into the page, you will need support for this on your server, either SSI as TheBearMay suggested or another language such as PHP. This page has more details for...
The title of a page has a significant effect, not only on the search engine rank but (perhaps more significantly) it appears in the results list, so if you have a relevant title users are more likely...
You need to find out if your web server supports either SSI or another server-side programming language, your web host should be able to help you. You will then need to create a page that contains...
The method is (more or less) irrelevant, as data can be read from an unencrypted HTTP form submission regardless of the method you are using. Equivalently, if you are sending the login details over...
I don't know about IE, but I think developing extensions for it is a nontrivial task. I believe it's much easier in Firefox and the other Mozilla products. For a significant extension check out the...
