Making FP >work on unix felt.... dirty, somehow. I know, but I feel the same way about putting a Win2k server on our network... what do you do, offer a Network SLA and then a Win2k Server SLA to differentiate reliability and security :( At the same time I get about as much a feeling of "stability" from the frontpage extensions for *nix as I do from a Win2k server... needless to say that isn't great. > We have enough call for other M$ stuff that it became worth it to have >a separate machine. We have not as of yet... pushing the FBSD/Cisco/Redundancy aspect of things as our "thing" and have been gracefully outsourcing or passing on the few customers who were dying to work with FP or services on Win platform.
