Server/OS/Dev environment

[PF]

	I have started with SkunkWeb and it's incredibly powerful.
	The template language is great, it has a lot of useful modules, and it 
doesn't get in the way when I want to use other packages. The way it cuts 
things in components and modules makes it really easy to reuse your code 
bits.
	Plus, it's very very fast. My PC generates 200 KB of html in about 60 
milliseconds, all of it being dynamic.
	On the downside, documentation is scarce, but what there is is well done.

	Zope is impossible to use.

	MySQL kinda sucks. No transactions... what can you do with a database 
with no transactions... no foreign keys... no integrity constraints... no 
"insert or update"... it has AMATEUR written all over it... I like 
postgresql much better. plsql sucks but stored procedures are faster than 
making a pile of requests.

	Anyway, have fun !
