Hello, all,
I am sorry if my previous post upset any of you, esp the developers. My original
meaning was a bit different than I wrote with my bad english.
I am very appreciate with this piece of wonder FreeVSD. And thats why i am here to
continue to express myself and get involved.
But its no doubt that both the FreeVSD server and the clients are still containing
lots of bugs and the manuals or documentations are very doggy.
So I feel the VSDclient is not up to the price it quote. and I also prefer the
WebAdmin PHP scripts than the MSucks windows client. I am happy to pay for the
WebAdmin, but not for the windows client. I just do not understand why they develop
windows client in proirty higher than the WebAdmin while it is obvious that the PHP
scripts are very useful to most of us and theere is no obvious advantage of using
windows clients over webadmin scripts in VS management.
