For CGI, try python. I have been used python for several years. I don't know anything for BBS written in python, except FAQ engine. I asked the question to python mailing list, I will let you know when I got answer. It is much clear than perl. Just check www.python.org. Wait.... I know there are so many perl fan out there. Please don't send mail "why perl, not python" mail to me. /Jaeho -----Original Message----- From: Charles Burns [mailto:burnscharlesn@hotmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, April 03, 2001 11:51 PM To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Free web BBS software Is there any good free BBS software out there? I have noticed that most messageboards use Infopop's Ultimate Bulletin Board, which seems like a good package but is several thousand dollars. O'Reilly's WebBoard is awful and for some strange reason, available only for Windows (O'Reilly? Windows??) and then there's one done in pure ASP that GameSpy uses, but with Chilisoft's immaturity I wouldn't want to run that. (That and ASP under Windows is flaky and unpredictable for some reason) I was considering starting one up on SourceForge after spending a few months getting good at PHP. If I were to do this, what do the Unix gods here believe would be the best language to do a BBS package in? PHP? Perl? I'd like to stick with one language and would very much not like to use any Java. I would also like to stick with interpreted languages because of the load time of compiled CGIs, other than possibly for the search function which would likely just use PostGreSQL or MySQL rather than internal stuff. (Fast search engines are a pain... At least to me) Thanks ahead of time for input _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
