Microsoft just keep throwing money at the problem - at some point, someone will start to use it ;)

Definitely the last recommendation I'd make to someone trying to learn Linux  :lol:

Would she have a problem with even the low priced $10/yr VPS?

IPTables might be a bit of a challenge if you're new to Linux. I would recommend getting familiar with the shell before learning IPTables. I'm sure some people will suggest using a UI but honestly, a UI will only hinder your learning pace in Linux. I would also suggest using a system you...

I would say at this level of understanding, having to learn PDO, prepared statements and parameterised queries is a lot to take on but you're right - as soon as you're comfortable about how to retrieve a value and store it in the database, learn PDO, prepared statements and parameterised queries...

I believe a chargeback via your credit card company will result in your PayPal account being shut down for good.

Just curious, is there any reason you wouldn't use the version in the repositories? Wouldn't that make it more maintainable?

I've seen quite a lot of hosts give cPanel licenses away but all they do is add it to the cost of the VPS.
