 * I am gonna try to create my own theme.
    I have a win Vista on my system and was
   wondering what server software would be recommended. I have tried using Wampserver,
   but had minor issues that were just too annoying to keep using it. If You have
   any other suggestions of how I can test the themes before releasing them I’d 
   appreciate it. I don’t wanna use up my hosting account.

 * XAMPP is pretty good. See [Installing_WordPress#Installing_WordPress_on_your_own_Computer](http://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress#Installing_WordPress_on_your_own_Computer)
