Ok, rules for this thread, if you have a q/a that you think should be added, just post below, and I will copy it into this post..
This is just what I have had to ask around for in the past few days... more to come, probably.
Q: Where is the apache webroot?
A: /var/www/html/
Q: How do I add support for mysql or postgresql in php?
A: yum install php-mysql installs mysql, whereas yum install php-pgsql installs postgresql.
Q: What files do I edit to configure php?
A: /etc/php.ini configures the php program, but do not use it to configure the modules.
Q: How do I configure the modules for php? like mysql.so and pgsql.so?
A: Redhat and Fedora use /etc/php.d/ to hold .ini files for each library.
Q: I want mozilla firebird
A: yum install mozilla-firebird
Q: I installed my nvidia drivers according to the faq on this website, but I get lots of crashes, for instance, if I run glxgears, it will lock up the computer almost immediately.
A: In your /etc/X11/XF86Config, try adding
[code:1]Option "NvAGP" "0"[/code:1]
in the videocard's device section.
Q: What do you have in your /etc/yum.conf
A: I got mine from someone else.. perhaps this will help someone, perhaps not
