Pre-intel mac mini as wordpress tester

vrm

Registered
I now have an Intel mac mini (OS 10.6.2) and my old pre-Intel mac mini (OS 10.4.11).

1) Is there a way of setting up the pre-Intel mini to serve as a local server to learn and develop WordPress websites?
2) How would I "connect" the pre-Intel to my current mini?
3) Could I then upload from the pre-Intel to my web host service (DreamHost)?

Background: I know nothing about WordPress yet, but the only way to do so is to jump in.

Warning: a true newbie when dealing under the hood of my Mac. I have this fear that I will be required to access an administrative area of my system and accidentally wipe out everything.

Well you can use MAMP which will allow you to run your own web server locally, and externally if you use port forwarding. Anyways, it will allow you to set up WordPress on it. Simply follow the instructions on MAMP and on WordPress. Once MAMP is installed, there will be a folder where you can drag all the WordPress contents.
