HR uses RedHat, so the second one is the one you'd wanna use.. But, what package are you installing that wants to know the platform? You might want to make sure you are allowed to install first...

Anyway, the first one is for FreeBSD 4.2 (Kinda like Linux, but not..).
The second is as I already said, RedHat Linux (6.2 in this case).
The third is MacOSx 10.1 (with is a PowerPC platform).
Fourth is Solaris 2.8 for the Intel platform.
Fifth is Solaris 2.8 for the Sparc (made by Sun, not many people have that).
Sixth (and last) is as you said.. for Windows.

oh, those are photo tools, i don't know I have to ask for permission first.
is doing it now too late?
source file is from http://netpbm.sourceforge.com
i also installed Gallery (http://gallery.sourceforge.com) and everything is working smoothly now.

This is just a php photo uploading tools, so I don't think they get the server sweat a bit. I don't have many guests anyway!

Yea, you're probably right... Especially if you don't have many users...
