ROTFL........ some of the things this group puts up with is at times quite funny......

You are interested in using a web server, did you know that another name for a web server is a http daemon? did you know their are also ftp daemons, NFS daemons, sendmail Daemons, samba Daemons, Finger daemons, etc. Daemons are a common term used to describe daemons ( background procces, like mentioned earlier ). Did you know that you can also mount, finger, and touch things with unix? Many companies consider fingering to be a security risk, and don't let their user's finger each other, but not me. User's of my server are free to finger anyone they want. We have a very liberal policy with fingering. > I'd want to avoid using art work that could be construed by my peers Did you know Microsft came out with a product called Back Office, that is commonly called Back Oriface. You'd want to make sure to stay away from that too. > Personally, I'd go with an old smelly sneaker. Now that's COOL. Is that supposed to be a joke? p.s. My favorite text editor is Simple EX, and I use the beer http server ( berkeleycs.ml.org/~bear/beer ) On Sun, 14 Mar 1999, Marty Leisner wrote: > > As a newcomer to the world of WEB hosting, I'm interested to go with the > > best. > > My research indicates that FreeBSD is the best for WEB servers. > > Having said that, I'm perplexed by the demon caricature that you use. > > Though I'm sure it's displayed in good humor, you may want to consider that > > Bible believers and other of faith would probably be happier it that were > > not your logo. > > > > I'm a Bible belieing Christian and have a "live and let live" outlook, but > > I'd want to avoid using art work that could be construed by my peers as > > disrepectful of our value system.
