Re: Re: Linux Suggestion

>> Windows XP Beta contains the sum total of what Windows has been up to now Well, kinda... but not really.. XP is a re-write and is an offshoot of 2000 (although, not really 2000 / NT) -- so it is experimental (as its still in B.) I have not experienced your problem... however, I would recommend moving away from XP for at least several months *after* its been officially released. If your looking for a stable solution, go to NT4 (Sp5 or later) or Win2000 -- and run IIS 4.0 or 5.0 (or PSW) Other than that Linux would be your best bet for Apache. I may recommend if u do go with Linux that you create a dual boot system -- Windows for your personal stuff and Linux for your Server stuff -- But -- you could avoid all that mess with just purchasing Win2000... Apache runs fine on 2000. Good luck.
