301 Redirect Implemented...final question

[mark4man]

hello...

just one more quick question:

I migrated my site(s) over to the Linux platform (from Windows)...& now my '301 Redirect' (in the form of an .htaccess file) works great.

1) will it (.htaccess) work for everybody...???

2) should I REMOVE the old page...??? (only asking 'cause I do not want SE's to find it & catalog it despite having the 301 at the top of the directory...if such a thing will happen).

thanks,

.htaccess is applied first, unless you set AllowOverride to something weird. Bots won't be able to see the page, as they get handed a 301 before they can even access the page.
