[P. Fawcett]

i've usually been ftp'ing so not noticed the web window layout -duh -
i'm ashamed..

but the linux binary filename specifies pc - are the apps for php &
mysql same for pc as server & just oddly named?  i shy'ed from something
named ...pc...

(i.e specs describe where the files go, what scripts are run during the install etc) Other examples of binary package management systems are Debian's .deb, Slackware's .tgz  etc.
