Setting up a home network to develop Cold Fusion, ASP and PHP applications on a Macintosh.

Setting up a home network to develop Cold Fusion, ASP and PHP applications on a Macintosh. I'm a Cold Fusion developer who prefers the Mac as my environment for development. I've long had the dream of being able to spend my time in BBEdit to develop my server side applications, and have finally learned how to do it. I thought that I would share my experiences in setting up a Mac/PC home network for file sharing as well as for sharing web resources, so that others in the same boat may have a path to follow.

Tip
Searching with Verity or SQL?
Searching your database: Which to use? Verity is best at handling large chunks of unstructured text. It automatically handles stemming (love, loved, loves, loving, lover) and is best at handling 'natural language' ('Who loves me?') type queries.

SQL is best of finding precise matches in very structured information (like prices). Verity can, however give you somewhat mushy results. Why not search the return of your verity query with SQL?

The Pro side: Very accurate results with good control over your data. The Con side: You lose relevance ranking, and must resort to using ORDER BY.
