Hey, you don't happen to be Swedish? Because a Swedish friend of mine is the one who got me into Slackware, and the creator of CRUX is Swedish... I sense a conspiracy a-brewing! ;-P If you don't hear from me on this list again, you'll know what happened to me. Off'd by the Swedish Linux/Unix Revolutionaries' Mafia. Or SLURM. <lol> I think I need a long break. ;-) Curtis. -----Original Message----- From: Sig Magnuson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, June 04, 2003 14:54 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: (clug-talk) recommendations for a web server If you do get arround to trying this I would recommend installing the following apps from opt packages dhcpcd - if you use dhcp cvssup (required for ports) openssl (required for ports) ports - Crux package update tool then goto http://crux.lugs.ch/ and get CLC ports supfile then run ports -u later sig Curtis Sloan wrote: >>Crux is the champion of the universe :) >> >> > >lol!
