see a site that I've designed (www.dbook .co.il)
on NT using asp with search engines and DB.

Also, I'm building sites wich are based on cgi's and
DB on linux (including Oracle and Mysql) but there is
no major web -managemnt software for linux- yet.
not to mentiion the pain when I have to write a CGI
that sends output in hebrew.

use it as a workstatin. AND use Hebrew AND I do care
about linux.. AND maybe some linux Gurus such as you
