Bummer,
Just wondering, how dynamic was the site? (IE, how easy to add/change
content?) Would the problem having to do with people having to hand edit
pages, and links, and such?
From experience, strong backends that automate a lot make it a lot
easier for people to update a site and more willing... IE uploading pages
from a form for example...
This is one of the reasons I use ColdFusion a lot.. Makes fast
development of dynamic sites a lot faster (coming soon to a linux near
you)..
I am also going to send a followup email to Allaire, since I have
recieved no response from them as of yet. This is a very powerful tool, and
we need it.. And I think they do too.. From recent experience, I wouldn't
want to be in there shoes, when their phones start ringing for support for
linux confusions unrelated to coldfusion, it's gonna bite them.. It's a heck
of a lot easier to find things and walk people through them on the FreeBSD
side =) I think the worst part of linux is finding where things are.... I
have better luck on NT, ROTFLMAO
