We are entirely FreeBSD Server based and I dread the thought of installing an NT/2k Server on our network to support these requests. Reviewed Frontpage extensions and a myriad of security, reliability, and general discontented reports. Have also tracked down some helpful resources like the rtr.com site. The general feeling is that adding FP extensions is going to create a security and support headache. Looking for feedback, install suggestinos, particularly good resources, hacks, patches, and anything else that may help us make an accurate judgement on this. FreeBSD boxes for the most part have performed without a hitch under a wide range of setups and hacks... Would hate to comprimise this just to support a few "developers" using a Micro$oft product.
