I think the "build it yourself" nature of unix/apache lends itself to being
easier to secure than the "Out of Box" approach of Win2k/IIS.  It all
depends on what side of the computing farm you were raised on.

It is probably not that long.  But the W2K webservers I have, have never =
crashed.  I regularly apply the security updates which forces me to =
manually reboot.

My point is however (not directed at you), that many Unix/Linux/Apache =
people bash Windows for being a less stable/secure environment.  Where =
in fact, if you know what you are doing, it is ever bit as stable and =
secure.

Chillisoft has been around for years (at least since ASP 2).  I've seen
Apache servers running VBScript/JScript ASP applications thru Chillisoft
up constantly for over 240 days (no reboots) -- that's almost a year!
How long is the longest you've ever had a Windows machine (production
server) running without a reboot?

Does anyone know of anything for ASP.Net in Apache?  I must admit that
VisualStudio.Net is the nicest object-oriented web development
environment I've ever seen (even though .Net is a 1.0 technology) -- if
you could just compile those ASP.Net pages for an Apache environment
it'd be a delight.

Isn't NASDAQ run on IIS?

I agree Ray. =3D20

One of my friends used Apache only at his last job.  He would rant and =
=3D
rave about how much better it was than W2K.  Well he ended up doing some
=3D
consulting for my company (coincidentally).......and we are a W2K shop =
=3D
so he needed to learn about W2K....Let's just say he was amazed at how =
=3D
quick tasks can be accomplished and he is now a convert.  Bottom line is
=3D
W2K comes working right out of the box, but if you don't know what you =
=3D
are doing, you can thoroughly screw it up very easily.  Where as Apache
=3D
is initially much harder to set up, thus deterring much of the crowd who
=3D
would screw it up.  Just my opinion....

Ha!  I think what Alfonso means to say is "I never pay any attention to
=3D
what
Ray says on this list.  If I did, I'd realize that he HATES wizards and
=3D
all
that other stuff that stupifies things and that he does everything at =
=3D
the
command prompt when possible."

But, yeah, that's not to say that I know anything about Apache.  I =3D
don't.
But I still know what I know about IIS!  And any time anyone says 2000 =
=3D
or
IIS or whatever is unstable, that means that the person has only =3D
experienced
servers that were setup by jackasses.

Ray at work
