[plug] The same old argument RH vs. Whatever

[bp]

Thats pretty much it Pete - I want to be able to make a webserver so people
can upload their websites to a ftp server on same box.  I really like
Freesco and probably will keep the 486 commissioned as a Freesco box
(named, NAT)now and just use another linux machine (debian most likely) as
the webserver & ftp server ?

This list is a great way to brainstorm ideas from feedback received from
you blokes.

Thanks fellas

Bill Pickett

He didn't say he just wants it to be a firewall. Or at least he didn't in
the bit you quoted and I'm too lazy to go look up the rest of his quote
*zzzz*.

Well, he said he was running a small web server and named on the box
already - perhaps he simply wants to do more with the webserver? In any
case, I suspect he may just not find Freesco suitable for doing more
high-powered stuff (while I'm sure it is great at being a simple
router/firewall).
