Okay, I really need your help guys.

My project description is as follows

Create a web site providing users with free web based e-mail, free webspace and a database driven college timetabling system. There must also be a search engine that searches the college servers

This has to be done in Linux. I have been given a hard drive with Redhat installed on it.

I have no idea how to do this !!!!

I need your help !!!!

First off, I'll do it for ŭK US.

The bulk of the code you write for this project will be platform-independent. Thus, the fact that the server runs Linux is neither here nor there. You need to pick up a web programming language, and quick.

Seeing as how you are running Linux, though, I suggest looking into Perl or PHP. PHP will be easier for you to learn if you have any non-Perl programming experience.

However, if you have no idea where to begin on this, you probably won't be able to do it. That is the discouraging truth. Even trying to piece those services together from prewritten packages will require some skill. Start with a smaller project.

The whole point of this is not to have to pogram anything major, it is a project on pieceing the whole thing together.

The only problem is that I can't find a decent mail server

I think cr0 was pointing out that what you were describing is a serious project in a business environment. If you were hired to put that together and maintain it for a large client base, you'd definitely not want to do it for free. It wasn't clear in your first post what the circumstances were.

Class projects are an entirely different matter. You only have to get just past the presentation. You can get by with a lot less.

If only the .NET platform were ported to Lunix for you... it'd be the easiest thing ever. Sorry. Need to vent on my platform occasionally.

for โUS, I'll tell you everything you need and exactly how to set it up. Anything below a C, you'll get a humble percentage back.
