How do I make a photo gallery as my website homepage?

Thanks for the replies everyone. I did install Joomla via cpanel using the fantastico package. And I can see it does offer the option of installing Coppermine gallery (although I do love some of those free flash Picasa templates), so I may just do that.

Had a feeling it might be tricky trying the put the gallery as homepage.

EasyPHP is basically just Apache, SQL and PHP built into one install and is so easy to use and setup.

The sites I run from root are not important anyway. For a proper website I use hosting that is free but is located in the USA.

I have used Virtual PC in XP with Ubuntu Linux installed onto it trying to host a website but I didn't suceed - the problem was to do with IP address mapping IIRC.

Yeah, I did a search just after your post

All my site is manually configured so I know each setting I'm mainly using it for development work and increasing my knowledges.

The virtual PC I have is CentOS but tbh haven't played with it much yet as I'm not too much of a linux geek. The IP address mapping sounds a bit familiar as I think that part of the setup failed for me too, I'll have to google more.

I wouldn't say tricky, but may require some haggling with your hoster, they should be more than happy to do it after they research to make sure it wont' cause issues

I'd recommend coppermine, picasa looks a bit crappier imo and coppermine has loads of templates
