[olug] Start Here icon question

[Michael Peterson Wireless]

The Start Here Icon works like the Start button on a Windows XP Pro/Home
system.

Fedora Core 2 and Fedora Core 3 Test 1 both have the Start Here Icon and it
works.

I run MySQL, Apache, and PHP on Fedora Core 2.
PHP (insert Database Here) Admin is an add-on package you can add to any
system after PHP is installed.
I will test the latest release on Fedora Core 2 and get back to you.

Mike,
Here are the properties of the "Start Here" icon  Permisions checked are
Owner read write exec, Group read, others read.
testview is  -rwxr--r--   , owner is francis and group is francis.  
Location is /home/francis/.gnome-desktop.  I got to these properties by
right click on the icon. 

I did not switch to fedora because I have been trying to learn something
about Mysql, Apache, and php.  Also I have phpadmin installed on this
system.  I have been concerned if I change over to fedora my current set up
will not work correctly.  Cold feet I guess.  If I change over to fedora
will the apps I listed be supported with out having problems?  I suspect if
I make the change to fedora, then the start here Icon problem will go away.
