I just ordered the ss28 with windows 2003 on it.

What i need the server for is for a few games which only run on windows and about 10 or so websties.

All of the sites are php-nuke.

So do I have to install apache, php and mysql or as some of the posts I have read said to use Windows.

Is there any good packages that come with apapche, php, and mysql togethor? I have looked at xxaamp.

And as far as the contol panel and whm do i need the linux version or windows.

Sorry Im kinda confused as this is my first dedicated machine. I am used to shared reseller hosting plan and tools.
