New to list and to freeTDS

Hello, I'm new to this list and just as new to FreeTDS. I am begining a project 
that will require me to communicate between my web site application sitting on 
a Linux MDK9.1 / Apache / PHP server to a MS SQL 2000 database. I am learning 
that to make this work I may need more than PHP out of the box, and have been 
recommended FreeTDS by another developer.

I am familiar but not extremely comfortable with Linux, so my path is pretty 
blurry at this point. If a brave soul out there could help me to get on the 
right path I would surely appreciate it.

I have downloaded the most recent nightly snapshot (7/31/03) and have read mush 
of the early parts of the User's guide.
