Many people are steping into Linux 'cause they are looking for a really good internet capable platform. Others use Linux for the fun installing a free OS on their system. Some of those want to get in touch with the internet, of course. Furthermore, there are institutes, universities and other mostly not-for-profit organisations which want to or need to set up internet sites on small expenses. This is, where the WWW HowTo comes in. This document tries to explain how to set up clients and servers for the (in my mind) largest online part of the net - The World Wide Web.
