Hi, sorry for not taking part in the IIS vs. Sambar discussion (my opinion: each to his own - Sambar for me :-)) but what really makes me think these days was the LinuxTag in Karlsruhe (probably the / one of the biggest Linux events in Europe, and so full of new ideas and interesting concepts, I'm still working on the nerves of my colleagues ;-)) is the LAMP idea (LAMP = Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP). Knowing the stability of Sambar, the speed of MySQL and th awesome power of PHP, we can probably skip the dysfunctional behaviour of Windows - but how'd you call that combination?
WSMP? (Windows, Sambar, MySQL, PHP) - any better suggestions? This acronym sucks... ;-) Still more interesting: who's using that combination? And can give "hands-on" guidance for those that might need it? I wouldn't want to see Tod's professional version sidelined, but what about experiences with the above setup and for example IMP as webmail client (see www.horde.org/imp/ - usage for example with Mercury/32 as IMAP Mailserver?) or for example with PHProjekt (www.phprojekt.com/) or Terracotta (http://terracotta.sourceforge.net/) as a miniature Document Manager (which has helped me on projects already - as neat replacement for lugging around disks and CD's)? While my personal resentment of MS O/S's rises as my Linux leraning curve becomes flatter (and by the impressed looks I sometimes get from colleagues that still try to fiddle things out on WinNT with IIS, I seem to have gathered considerable steam on this platform...), such an environment might just be what the doctor ordered for many projects that have a deadline of "yesterday". How's this compared to WinNT, IIS, MS-SQL / MS-Access, ASP? Gerard ------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe please go to http://www.sambar.ch/list/
