Heh...even the Cobalt (non-Sun), which is fairly similar to RedHat, had a small bump in the installation process. I'd be afraid of what the OS/X threw at ya tho.
I know it would be unsupported AND not functional AND NO ONE SHOULD TRY IT, but would you mind sharing the bumps and hiccups you encountered with OS/X? I'm curious as to the extent of the compatability. -----Original Message----- From: Jesse Noller [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, July 29, 2002 1:33 PM To: CF-Linux Subject: RE: Changing from Default to Apache Web Server Let me be clear Dick: He was talking about running this in a production environment. I want to make it clear, Macromedia ONLY Supports Red Hat and SuSE linux, Solaris 7 and 8, and HP-UX and Windows as far as platforms go. Installing it anywhere else constitutes a Hack, and a Kludge. Trust me, I've written enough documents on CF-Linux porting to know. No matter how much you do, you /cannot/ make everything functional on an unsupported OS, period. There are too many moving parts. I know, I *run* CFMX on OS/X for *fun*.
