FreeBSD being a webserver is not compromised at all. There has been points made about the fact that Apache really isn't the webserver of choice for higher task web service needs. I won't elaborate on that as its been done enough already :) =20 > > I mean I still have > > a hard time grasping linux as a serious operating system when > > little things like how "far" away localhost is keep coming to mind. >=20 > Would you care to elaborate? Ping localhost on a linux box, then ping localhost on a bsd based system. Note the differences.. =20 > You know it and I know it. But the press won't care.

You act like that hasn't been a possibility.. the Operating system itself might not be the trouble but a piece of software on the system. But security wasn't what I was talking about.. I was talking about the fact that there is not a major enough difference in performance to really care. --=20 Rob Andrews Administrator Cyberpunk Alliance http://www.cyberpunkz.org/ Minneapolis, MN --LpQ9ahxlCli8rRTG Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (FreeBSD) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE7sip5AXwJ9YLqJJURAq5MAJ928/diHVcz2OoOa8nObrPpKpak/wCZASfa orBV52WsOk7B0n6opJUcgGo= =+p6b -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --LpQ9ahxlCli8rRTG-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
