It is strange that the most valid reason to use Apache is a lack of IP addresses. But it's true. > I'd love a being able to just say "apt-get install apache2-aolserver > apache2-aolserver-postgresql". As soon as apt-get blah-blah-blah starts installing software where I want it, with the options I want, I also would love it. But if I install an AOLserver for a client, they might want to keep their version for a few years, the next client might want the current version and a new postgresql. The apt-get stuff works exactly once per machine and it still doesn't give much flexibility. Eventually you have to learn how to do custom installs. I like the idea of a forward (caching) proxy, it fits in well with the filter type architecture in AOLserver. tom jackson -- AOLserver - http://www.aolserver.com/ To Remove yourself from this list, simply send an email to <lists...@listserv.aol.com> with the body of "SIGNOFF AOLSERVER" in the email message.
