I'd say learn more about graphics, if that interests you. The ability to
build good, fast graphics is key for spiffing up a website. If you want a
site that'll teach you something about color and design, I'd recommend
www.lynda.com, Lynda Weinman's site. (Her books are great too). Learn how
to use tables and graphics backgrounds well, too--- that helps a lot. 

If you're looking for more of a technical challenge, investigate some of
the tools out there for building larger websites, the kind you'd never
code by hand--- Zope (www.zope.org) and PHP (www.php.org?), for example.

*wave* Hi all, this is my first post. I'm srl, a web geek who does Cold
Fusion by day. I'm learning more about Linux/Unix in my copious free time,
particularly about open source web tools. I'm currently pondering building
a new system, 'cause my existing one is all spare parts. (a 486/66 with
16MB RAM and an 800MB HD, Redhat 5.2). I want to run GIMP, and this box
just doesn't cut it.

Does anyone have any experience with this ABIT motherboard I keep hearing
about---the one that can be set up as a dual Celeron system? The idea
seems attractive for price reasons, but I just don't know....
