Will this be able to > handle(dumb Q) and what other software would I need? I think FreeBSD + Apache will be able to handle it very well (better than anything out there!!). FreeBSD 2.x or 3.0 (Sept 15th release) Apache 1.3.1 May be required: BIND (named) - aka DNS (if you want your own DNS) Optional: 1) If you want to use FrontPage to publish your sites then you need the frontpage extensions. I haven't tried this yet. but heard it causes a lot of headaches (Anybody got a step by step instructions??) 2) SSL - to setup secure shops check the /usr/ports/www/apache13 for plain apache also checkout www.apache.org -Satya ----------------- Satya Devireddy satya@dspsoft.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
