Tunnelling VNC Through SSH

In some lab environments it's impossible to use VNC to access remote machines due to security practices(ports being blocked, BSOs, etc).

Compiling Apache2 and PHP5 on AIX 5.3 TL5

I've been working on my test AIX 5.3 system trying to get Apache2 and PHP installed. My ultimate goal is too get Apache2 and PHP setup so I can install Drupal and start testing it with a DB2 back end. If I can get it working and running stable, I will move all of my test web sites over to this machine. After some trial and error, here is how I got Apache2 and PHP5 compiled on my AIX 5.3 TL5 machine.
