AMP your Mac’s Webserver Part 2– the Applications

In our first installment we juiced up our Macs with the powerful Open Source trio of Apache, MySQL and PHP. But what good is an ultra powerful webserver without any cool applications?

Now that we’ve made your Mac ‘net worthy, our next step is to outfit it with some applications that will let you enjoy your Mac’s creative powers over the internet.

This week’s Freeloader Friday is dedicated to serving up your Mac’s music, movies and files over the web.

Join me for a special Freeloader feature and bring the web to your desktop.
