Guides...

Hi, I am currently using JBuilder 4 and Tomcat 3.1 to host my JSP pages on a windows 98 platform.

I am thinking of switching my JSP pages to a Linux or Unix platform. I am not veri familiar with either Linux or Unix, so i like to ask a few questions here.

1)Is there any 'for-dummy' guides for installing and configuring Tomcat on either of these two platform?

2)Where can I get the latest version of Tomcat? (I used JBuilder partially because tomcat is integrated in it and the GUI makes it easier to use it, that is why I am not very good in understanding how the server actually works.)

3)Does tomcat support SSL?

Thanks alot!!

You ought to check out the main Tomcat page at http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/index.html. You'll probably want to use v3.2 until 3.3 or 4.0 comes out of beta. I would also suggest trying to install Tomcat on Windows first since you're familiar with that platform. And not using JBuilder, but a real Tomcat install. The installation process is pretty much identical across platforms (from what I remember), so if you get it going on Windows you should be able to do so on Linux.
