LT came over on Saturday night and gave me a hand with setting up my machine as a server. I still have to figure out how to get PHP support going as well as access remotely to my box (through a slick little add-in called webmin) - then I'll try and get MT running.
But I did manage to get it running as web server. FTP is still not functional but I've managed to get a basic web page going.
Nerd.
