Warning: wildly naive question! Can anyone summon up the patience to suggest ballpark figures for setting up a webserver running some specific GPL software. I want to set up a GNU / Linux webserver running R software (www.r-project.org) according to either of the web-interfaces: http://stats.mth.uea.ac.uk/Rcgi/ http://www.math.montana.edu/Rweb/ I don't see this as being much harder to set up MySQL, or more demanding on the server. i.e. I asked my main employer (I'm only at this address for part time study) and got one of the mechanics from the fast show tutting his head and giving rather wild estimates of the sort that I reckon ought to pay out enough to (a) pay off my mortgage and (b) still leave enough left over for a website (admittedly amongst other things he wanted to set up two servers so that one backed up the other in the event of breakdown but at the moment I would just like a proof of concept at work and don't need that, although if the concept is proved......) Thanks for forebearance.
