Drupal question for Sven

Is it possible to install Drupal in a local computer, not connected to the internet, so one can play around with it before actually trying to do "real" things??

[Sven]

Yes, they actually advise that you do. But to me it turned out more difficult to figure that out so I just took the plunge.

There is a bit of explanation on how to do it on www.drupal.org

You have to have a home-based server. It is complicated.

You can download MAMP for mac or XAMPP for windows. It comes with everything drupal needs to work (PHP, MySQL, Apache) no need to install each requisite separately.
